BethRags, I can't help but think that your pdoc is somehow unwell right now. Obviously, I can't know that, but it's hard to understand what other reason there could be for her behavior. Based on the reaction of her receptionist, it almost seems like the receptionist is in the know about something amiss with the pdoc.

If any of my speculation is correct, I would of course have compassion for your pdoc, but the fact is that your pdoc has taken on a job with great responsibilities. I hope that if your pdoc is wrong, that the receptionist (and possibly others) will communicate concerns to someone that could help.
