Thank you. I never cared for my current pdoc, but when I actually tracked the time she spent talking to me, versus me sitting their awkwardly while she typed away, it made me livid. I probably wouldn't have minded the 50 minute drive to Raleigh, NC if I actually liked that pdoc. She was also a PA, but too judgmental and conservative with meds than I would have preferred. But there has got to be a psychiatrist in that city worth making the drive.
