Stupidest thing

What is the stupidest thing a clinician ever said to you?

The stupidest thing I remember is when I was manic and hadn't slept for one or two days and I went to the hospital in a different part of the country (that was where I had become manic and was admitted) at 9:00 am (the earliest possible time) to demand an appointment with a psychologist that was responsible for my treatment after being incorrectly diagnosed, when she said: "you don't need much sleep, now do you?". As if I generally sleep just 0 hours a night.

I used to spend time with my pdocs. But the past few years my Pdoc only writes the scripts and we're done.

"You can't be bipolar you think about consequences when 'manic'."

"Wait till your next appointment or go to urgent care". When I got a serious symptom from trileptal. Urgent care called pdoc and yelled at her and sent me to the ER

"You are a psych patient!" Used in reference to why I shouldn't drink, expect a normal life, had issues, etc.

I was in the hospital for a severe psychotic mixed episode and when I told the psychiatrist that I was having serious sleeping problems (now I was going on 3 days no sleep) he told me to just read a book. I told him that was BS and he said it had to be a boring book.

I saw a new Pdoc and was excited about seeing her as she came highly recommended. I started to tell her my problems and she flat out says, "What you you want ME to do about it?". I never went back.

Hmm lemme think.....mani/pedi, backrub and some f@cking meds?... what a asinine thing to say to you.

Hahaha! Really! And take me out for fettuccine Alfredo while you're at it.

I was suicidal and stopped into the university counseling center. " just think happy thoughts and you'll cheer right up"

That's just criminal negligence. I can't believe the ignorant, mean things said. To people who need help.

"You're exaggerating your sensitivity to sunlight in your eyes"

"You can go back to work in two weeks"--after I had a complete breakdown. Needless to say I'm on disability now.

Oh no they dihinnt!

I don't know if this qualifies but it hit me as really strange ... after my ip and a month of iop ... (now my pdoc had only saw me a dozen times or so and I had only been on meds a month) ... he said he was ready to sign my disability papers ... blew my mind ... wish I knew what he saw in me ... because from my side everything was 100% better and I was ready to go back to work ... and I did ... seemed stupid at the time ...

Really??? So they almost voted bipolar out as possible diagnosis for me last week because they said: you still seem to control yourself a little when hypo and think that it might be stupid what you are up to do (even though you always end up doing it anyway) so you can't be bipolar.

So yes, you can?
