How can I ever forget this?
Psychiatrist: How many times have you been in hospital?
Me: No response.
Psychiatrist: 1, 5, 10, 20, 30? Tell me? (He's tone of voice was sarcastic.)
Me: No response.
After that, I refused to answer anymore questions. As time went by, the doctor's frustrations became more and more pronounced.
I did not deserve this.
Last year, I told this story to the psychiatrist who assessed me for AS. Her response, "That was very unprofessional."
