I don't even bother going to the head doc for myself anymore. Pointless. I find them too businesslike and too eager to get you in and out in the allotted 5 minutes so they can see the next patient. Their answer to everything is to put you on some shitload of drugs they have never tried themselves, the aim being to dope you up as much as possible and thus render you harmless to nice, normal people. I did recently go to my parents' doctor to try and talk to him about my parents' mental health issues (mum is schizophrenic/bipolar and dad has dementia), but it was the same story. I couldn't even get to see a doctor; instead they let me see the nurse practicioner who didn't know anything about their cases, and she just half listened, seemed impatient, and fobbed me off with some crap about I should come back if things "got worse". I was like "okay, so you mean like if one of them drops dead or kills someone, I can come back then?" She was not amused. Medics = f***wads.
