we're not going to see them take our meds either, unless they have an m.i. themselves... AND have accepted it.
oh, i'd love nothing more than to see them jump up on the table and zap themselves. i would prefer seeing only the incompetent ECTs docs do this, as having ECTs, even under the best of circumstances and environments, is somewhat daunting, and can be for some (although never was for me) a humiliating, for lack of better word, experience.
it also takes far too much courage, while also in the midst of having this amount of despair, to get ECTs. so, i think we can safely put this fantasy to rest... far as the docs.
what i'd like to see MUCH more: ALL pdocs and gps prescribing them, then being required to try out any & all meds, in order to see what we do - or may - go through, side-effects wise. (yes, i realize - far as 'psych' efficacy, if said docs have no m.i. - that nothing will occur in that realm.)
