Jerryimpls,
I wasn't suggesting that you should have sympathy for anyone. Simply making the point that if 90% of everything is crap, the same metric will (and does) apply to psychiatrists. The fact that they work with human psyches and get paid relatively well to do so doesn't exempt them from this.
There is a model for how children feel about their parents that can equally apply to teachers therapists and pdocs:
1.) first we love them and think they're godlike.
2.) then we see the cracks and think they are incompetent, uncaring boobs.
3.) Eventually we see them realistically, as flawed human beings (just like us.)It's upto us to get the quality care we need. This forum is a big help to me - if I left it upto my pdoc the great care I'm getting would possibly have been mediocre. My two cents ...
