He was not doing his job. I was excused from groups and allowed to do exactly what I was trying to do. My attempting to go to groups was more than was required and his approach was to demand I do something I was not capable of at that moment. His job is to read about the patients before coming in and he should have known that I was allowed to do what I was doing. Plus group isn't mandatory for anyone ever. Encouraged but not mandatory. Forcing participation on someone too sick to understand a conversation not 1:1 (which is still me) was too much and way, way beyond my treatment plan. I know the difference between therapeutic and jerk and this was jerk. Next week perhaps his approach would be ok but right now no.
