i understand. My pdoc has written letters for meabout me and it's the same way... Ms Gerber presents with blah blah blah... i especially hated it when he refers to my case as "severe." i kept a copy of the very first one... a painful joke in a way... it's my first hard evidence of being certifiably crazy. In one he actually said i was "unfortunate," and my BP was "difficult" to treat.

but remember, just because he has to "talk shop" doesn't mean he enjoys talking about you that way... it's required when it's with other professionals. Every "system" out there makes people into things somehow. i am really close with my chiro, but she has to talk about me the same way. The legal/medical system wouldn't work very well if it was kept as personified as we'd like.

it is unfortunate when we see that side though... it isn't pleasant to be the one objectified.
