It's complicated. Pdoc likes being an active part of my treatment which has its pros and cons. I have suggested to my Pdoc that I should just lie to her (not about this issue particularly). Her respinse is "Then what is the point of having me on your treatment team?" She's a good Pdoc. She researches a lot. But she plays therapist a lot. Sometimes I wish she would just stick to being a Pdoc. Maybe then I wouldn't be attached to her likes she doesn't like.
