I suppose I should answer my own questions. I have both a T and Pdoc. I was matched up randomly with my pdoc the first time I was hospitalized. He normally doesn't take on new patients from the hospital, but for some reason he offered up his out-patient services to me. I was very blessed that day. He is a sweet man and as my T says, this pdoc is incredibly smart about meds. I mean, pretty brilliant in his array of knowledge.
He's much more soft spoken than my T and therapy would definitely not be his forte, but he is very caring and supportive. He listens to my concerns and respects my opinion about my treatment. Even though he is soft spoken, he is just as straight-forward and direct with me as my T. In fact, in a way he is probably more direct and firm with me than my T, probably because he's the one who has actually seen me at my worst in the hospital.
The kindest thing he said to me was, "I promise we will find a way for to get through this." He meant it.
