My previous pdoc was good, but she wouldn't change much even though I had serious issues. I had to go IP for all but a couple of my med changes. Still, it was better than all the psychiatry residents I went to on base, because she actually recognized I was bipolar.

My first pnurse tried to keep me on benzos for my anxiety, even though they didn't help. He helped me get my SSDI approved, so I thank him for that.

My current pnurse is a wild card. She's got her own issues so I don't what to expect. She forgets things sometimes like sending my prescriptions to the base pharmacy.

I think the way to tell is how they treat you--do they listen? Do they make decisions right away, or give some thought to it first? How is their demeanor?
