I guess I am really quite fortunate that I have a gp who is understanding and supportive. Whenever I see him we spend some time talking about my mental and emotional health. I am aware he keeps up with my case as my psychiatrist cc's him regularly about those visits.

When I was last hospitalized 18mos ago, my GP came in to visit 3-4 times a week (8wks)

When I was recently going through a lengthy wait-and-see-the-results crisis he was good enough to phone me a few times to find out how I was holding up.

it never occured to me until just now that this was not the norm.
