I've seen around 30 pdocs over the years. Most of them have been caring and pretty good. There were a few losers in the bunch, of course. My pdoc now is the best one I've had; I'm genuinely lucky.

The worst one? The last time I was IP was in November of 2018. The psychiatrist I saw in the hospital was awful. I mean a vile SOB. He was uncaring, rude, and sadistic. There was nothing, not one thing, redeeming about the man. I wondered how he had become so miserable, how he even lived through 1 hour of his life. He didn't seem depressed, he seemed to thrive on being cruel. I hope I never see his face again.
