I personally think he's just lazy and doesn't want to deal with people. It's like in the old days where rich people had servants to give them a bath and wipe their own @sses. It's not that they couldn't wipe their own @ss. They just didn't want to, so they paid someone else to do it.

All I know is that it's a damn shame when doctors can't show basic respect or at least attempt to understand someone's situation when that person reaches out for help. But I guess... they're not the ones with the problem, right? It's not them who has to deal with it, so what do they care?

I have a love-hate relationship with my therapist, but she will at least return phone calls herself and offer "crisis" appointments at the end of her workday if needed. (So basically, she will offer to stay longer than normal in order to help a client in need.) My pdoc won't do that. But then again, what do you expect from a guy who won't even return phone calls himself
