geesh, do i relate to this one~! my docs are basically either incompetent or uncaring. i have to manage my own health care, researching and requesting tests or meds. i don't take any psych med except valium for PTSD and restless legs, but the last MD. told me he wouldn't continue to see me unless i kept going to the Pdoc~ O.O (idiot, he was no good, in any way.)

i was disabled by treatment at a public MH clinic, 12 docs each prescribing their fav med, stronger than the last, because my "symptoms" (read: Side Effects) kept getting worse. they gave me significant brain damage, i'm still recovering 25 yrs later. i don't think i even envy people who do get help from Pdocs and psych meds, i hate them so much.

people need to know to watch out for incompetent docs and meds that cause nasty side effects... some of those can become permanent~
