I'm not sure of why people get hung up on the fact that their own pdoc is affiliated with Harvard. Nor do I understand why others take issue with anyone's pdoc who may have a Harvard affiliation.
My pdoc definitely does not feel she is special, quite the opposite, She is quite humble-- and her colleagues often refer to her as having "a big personality without the ego."
Why the "Harvard Hang -Up" expressed often on this site? Both the "bragging" and the "jabs" seem unnecessary to me and I wonder why this is an issue at all? |
I honestly don’t get it either ... either a Pdoc is good or bad , regardless of there schooling.
For instance my Pdoc?? He got his degree in internal medicine.. he had his own practice a few years in this small town ( keep in mind he’s mid 60’s now) well he was seeing patients left and right needing psych help and it was virtually impossible to find in this town 35 years ago.. so he handed his practice over to another Doctor and he went and studied for over a year about psych illness and medications.
He took a job at the mental health clinic and he is brilliant with psych meds and working to find the best treatment for each patient.
He did not change him self to “ psychiatrist “ but he knows the ins and outs of every bloody psych Med out there , he never had tried to tell me a side effect isn’t possible. If I have one .., he says okay let’s figure out something else
I think Pdocs are either great, good , passable or lousy regardless of where they studied.
Anyway just my opinion and lord knows I have tons of them LOL
