If the arrogance of pdocs matched the intellect,often it doesn’t, some of them would be quite intelligent.

Doctors are just people. Their knowledge is incomplete and often skewed. It bugs me when people seem to think doctors are all-knowing. I have dealt with some arrogant psychiatrists, that’s for sure.

My pdoc is super cool. And super intelligent too. He has an award from his peers stating that he is one of the best psychiatrists in America. It’s hanging on his office wall. He has a zillion awards and degrees and certificates. All hanging on his office walls. He teaches medical professors. He’s an amazing man. And very humble about it all too. He says that “God has been good to me”.

Overconfident is not a good sign. I need to remind myself of that.

Why should I not be confident of my pdoc?

Hi SkinnyMe, I meant when I am overconfident is not a good sign. I wasn’t pointing to any doctors at all.
I’m sorry for the misunderstanding.

I see a nurse practitioner she is very compassionate and knows what she is doing. Sometimes I think nurse practitioners are better than psychiatrists because they actually listen to patients.

My current psychiatrist is not arrogant but more so very confident.
There is a difference.

I think some of us have been luckier with pdocs than others.

I was not so lucky when it came to pdocs in the past.
I guess I got lucky with my current psychiatrist but she is far from perfect.
