Yes, although my Pdoc is the lead clinician/supervisor, at the previous clinic I attended, with it being Government based he was still required to answer to the suits above him. They wanted him to terminate me as a patient, because apparently he'd had ample time to treat me and it was impacting on their efficiency stats that I was still under his care (I believe they did an audit on patient records). He went into bat for me and explained to them that I was a complex case requiring longer term care, they still weren't having it, started getting on his back about how he needed to close my case file and move me on, so he eventually asked me if I'd mind transferring with him to another clinic he worked at so he could continue treating me in peace. He made it clear that if the transfer didn't work, for whatever reason, then he'd transfer me straight back to the old clinic and tell the suits to get f*cked (those were close to his exact words). It actually felt really good to know my Pdoc had stood up for me like that.
