I'm not sure that my doctor, or any doctor I've ever seen, believes in treating me. I know there's something wrong with me, so can half-heartedly think that if I get the right meds I can feel better. I don't know what it is, but no doctor has really thought I need treatment and never have suggested medication without my inquisition or prompting. It's like they'll throw scripts at me every once in a while to pacify me, but aren't really interesting in achieving relief, success, or remission with me... not that they don't care about me as a person, but I get the idea that my doctor is less concerned with treating me as a patient and more concerned with me, the person.
I've always liked that because he's nice and friendly and easy to be with, until now, when I realize that he's too laid back in his fatherly approach with me... I'd prefer aggressive and fatherly, but aggressive alone if nothing else... and no, I really don't have any other doctors in the area who will bother treating me... I tend to get brushed off.
