LOL! I'll throw in with you on that. ;-)

Wow. That's a sobering story. I shouldn't discount the effect that records can have.
Concerning most psychiatrists, I think I have such massive, firmly-established contempt and disregard for them, how they practice, and what their “clinical judgments” are, that I would be at worst annoyed or amused no matter what they wrote. I always feel more confident in a psychiatrist's presence, actually, because I think they're so inadequately trained, deluded, & ultimately confused about what they're trying to do that their opinions don't count for much. I mostly just want them to sign the prescriptions I dictate.*
Apparently I cover well, because there's nothing in these records about them detecting a “delusional superiority complex / inferiority issues” etc.
The therapists I've seen, though... Hmm. That would be different. The ones I stuck with I have personal respect for. There could be private judgments there that would send me reeling. I haven't seen those records.
*This wouldn't apply to Dr Bob, of course. ;-)
