I wanted to see a pdoc for the longest time when going to my MD. He prescribed psych meds and kept postponing referral. I think he was just greedy and didn't want to cut me lose.
Then I found a pdoc on my own which accepted my ins.
Later when the head pdoc retired and sold building, I went without for awhile. Don't remember all the details, but I now see my pdoc from hospital. She has an office. I'm thinking of changing again when I go back to the states.
The pdoc I have now is in favor of continuing ECT ( Brain Fry) and I'm never doing it again unless it's an emergency. I need someone who will keep me on present meds as they seem to be keeping me stable. ( except I need to figure out the headaches??
