I haven't gotten any response to my concerns from pdoc. If he will see patients on Saturdays, I can still see him, but I don't know if he is. I decided to write up a questionnaire for the new pdoc to see if I want to see her. I've faxed and mailed it to the office. I'm probably being bull-headed and stubborn here. But I really think I have a right to know something about the person, don't you?

What questions would you ask if you were interviewing new pdocs? (Or even a new T?) How would you select someone?

Here are some of mine:
<ul type="square">[*]What is your psychological theory?[*]What is your philosophy concerning prescribing drugs and recovery from mental illness? What other methods do you use other than prescribing drugs?[*]What do you view as being your part in mental health treatment? What do you see as the patient’s role in their mental health care?[*]What is your background and areas of expertise? How long have you been practicing?[*]What steps will you take when a patient is transferred to you from another Dr. to bring yourself up to date?[*]How will you be introducing yourself to transferred patients prior to your first meeting with them?[*]Will you work closely with the previous Dr. as a team, consulting him on the case?[*]What do your previous and current patients say about you?[/list]
