In reply to Anybody been fired by their pdoc?, posted by Snowie on June 5, 2000, at 21:03:43
Yes me Snowie. It was a mutual fire…I'm sure he thinks he fired me, and I like to think I fired him. I thought he was one twisted cookie. He would say to me, 'Well, you're the analytical one' and 'well, you're the one who knows so much about your disorders' and 'why are you always so dramatic'. He didn't like the fact I knew so much about my disorders.
I was a generic patient to him (he wanted me to be like a blank white sheet) and everyone does cognitive therapy.
Snowie, just because they are your psychiatrist doesn't mean much. I've always made a personal observation that many twisted individuals seem to get attracted to the helping professions (especially priests). Of course, most are decent, sincere people.
I've hoped I've helped or at least made sense.He was very unprofessional--this is the part that would have especially upset me. Take care, Janice
ps. I now have a psychiatrist I like alot.
