> I appreciate your (no doubt) more balanced perspective than mine,
believe me, there's doubt... :)
but Im an idealist. Its very depressing for me when personal expererience doesnt translate into real life. Im having a hard time killing these wildly unrealistic expectations I have, that someone (a pdoc) will actually listen, and not get his or her professional nose bent out of joint when I want to add something to conversation.
i agree completely with that. a degree should not give a doctor a "god-like" mentality looking down upon us mere mortals. i don't believe a doctor will study every possible detail of an individual's case the way the individual will.
> Sorry, Im just totally bummed right now.
you know what? so am I. i just direct negative feelings inward, not outwards. i hope you get to feeling better. sorry if I came out antagonistic. you are passionate in your quest! :)
