My pdoc is awesome! He's smart, funny, and very talented---he grows fruits and vegetables and cans them himself. He's been all over the world (was a Lt. Colonel in the Army and served in both Iraq and Afghanistan) and has a lot of great stories about his travels. But he has also studied me closely and knows my quirks and foibles, and he remembers absolutely EVERYTHING. I can't get away with trying to BS him, nor does he allow for any intellectual laziness on my part.

I'm going to lose him though, he's going back to private practice soon and I almost feel sorry for my next pdoc, because Dr. Awesomesauce is the standard by which I will judge all future psychiatrists.
