The one way I know for sure I will get a longer appointment is if I go to the ER for suicidal feelings. Then when I make an emergency appointment with the PDOC he will give me more time. But that's not really a route I want to take, if I don't have to. I'm going to see if I can get on the cancellation list or something to see if I can get in sooner than November. If I write down all of my concerns and bring him the list then I'm pretty confident he will take the time to review them with me. I think I just haven't been the best at communicating. I.E. saying, I'm kind of depressed, when I'm really depressed. And saying, I've had suicidal thoughts, when I should have been saying, If I had the means, I would have acted on it. I think I need to be more clear. The appointments I've had after I've been to the hospital have been longer though. He wants to make sure I'm okay, or he wants to cover his butt. I think he's a good PDOC, it's just that there are so many patients and there's not a lot of PDOCs where I live. And he cut his hours by 2 or 2.5 and he only works three days a week. It's kind of like, take what you can get, because there is really no one else.
