He answers my questions. I always try to see him, but it didn't work out last time.

She begins our conversation with 'so, is the Risperdal and Geodon working for you?' I replied 'well they aren't doing anything because I have been med free since September due to your guidance and that of your college. Read my chart and then let's talk.' She looked only slightly embarrassed, read for a moment and then asked me how I was coping ....

We talked for maybe 2 additional minutes and then she said I don't need to see them anymore unless I am symptomatic and need meds.

I expect them to at least read the chart...
This sounds typical of many of the doctors in this forest. Grrrrrrrrrrrr

They really do not like it when I ask detailed, or even simple, questions
