Perfectly reasonable option, I was just trying to say that whether my T cares or not isn't something I am really after. I do feel cared for within the professional context, which is true for me with my massage therapist and usually with the few madly physician like professionals I see. By physician-like I mean that it seems like they are trained to think of "patients" as morons. When I had some chronic pain after surgery a few years ago, a pain doc suggested a medication that rhymed with its nickname, "Stup-a-max." She's like, that's not a problem for you is it, to have your higher cognitive functions disrupted? My response was to explain very clearly that my work required that my higher order cognitive functions (i.e. thinking) was necessary for what I do. If my T ever treated me with anything other than respect, I'd walk away. Fortunately he's one of those humanistic types who has usually reframed what I think of as a weakness as a strength.

I hear you on the veggie issue, was one for 20 years.
