Choosing Ts and pdocs is such a shot in the dark. It's really hard to tell who will be helpful and who won't at least for me. I tend to think all Ts will be helpful and clearly that is not the case (from what I read here-including your former pdoc).

I don't think I would be too excited about seeing a T who had a 5 week waiting list. What happens if you need extra sessions? Or are you perhaps looking for someone who won't do anything extra, after your terrible pdoc experience?
