And how they complain of how we don’t listen to them. It could be because they are the cause as often or more often than they are the cure.

Somewhat true. I just always remember they are doing there best to help even if it does not always help.
You never had a lazy doc?
Well, at least it’s a change from being angry at your parents!

I don’t think I have ever actually had a doc. Your point is valid though.
My psychiatrist takes phone calls in the middle of my sessions. 
Although, when I was two my Dad worked in a hospital in cancer research and came home smelling like a doctor. He said he left that job after one year because he thought there would be a lack of funding but I think he left it because his kids didn’t want anything to do with him and he noticed the difference.
My last therapist would take phone calls during our sessions.
She would also text other people during our time together - Very rude, if you ask me.

My clinician does that, but it’s usually to the other people on the team.
No this is to her other clients/patients
My doctor team has one other patient in the whole state, it’s an extremely new program. I assume she’s going to do that when there are more clients though, but most of the meetings are at home or even the local diner. Not super formal, and I don’t feel like it takes away from my time at all. It’s actually a hell of a lot nicer than I expected from Delaware. Delaware was probably chosen because the whole state has a population similar to that of the cities that they tested the PIER model in.
I’ve heard really bad things about the hospitals though.

I communicate with my Dr mostly by e mail, with an appointment every 6 months or a year. He usually answers in 2 or 3 hrs. or at least the same day.
I have various physical Drs. I don’t know enough to judge their expertise, but they don’t seem lazy. They seem to mean well, if that counts.
@PinCushion you have a very good memory of early childhood for it to have been such a bad experience. I wonder why you remembered all that s–t.
I remember it because of the attention of a psychoanalyst when I was a lonely 20 year old. His influence stayed with me.
Yes, it must have. Is that good for you now or not?
I know someone who’s 80 and worked in psychology all her life. She calls psychologists ‘charlatans’.

Who’s to say? It passes the time.
Was she calling herself one?
No, she was low on the totem pole. She paid people a quarter for giving them advice.
depends whether you want to improve i guess
Should read ‘calls psychiatrists charlatans’.
