Does that make more sense? Okay, so maybe that is being cynical. I guess I see it as more of just what is. Some people are okay with that.

Yeah that makes sense. The only person I've seen who was part of a network was a psychiatrist, but his job was only to manage my meds. Apart from the first visit, our appointments were just him asking if the meds were working, if I was feeling suicidal, and then writing me another prescription. So I can't really judge based on that experience.
Ugh it's such a tough choice.
