Thank you, Dinah. That is exactly right.
I guess I just want to know whether I am expected to do that or not *before* I go. If it is expected then I won't go do the assessment. It would save me a lot of distress.
I do see my p-doc once more before the assessment. I asked him this at our last meeting and he just said he had no idea what she was going to do. But I'll ask him for her contact details. I'd be happier giving him a brief email to foward on to her - but I wouldn't trust him to remember to pass it on. I'll figure a way to find this out.
> You're on the horns of a dilemma here. Is it possible to play it by ear and see what happens? If she's familiar with the diagnosis she might be more respectful than you fear.Yeah. But there is still no way that I am going to let her meet them. There would be nothing she could say or do in a two hour period (and I will never see her again after that) that could induce me to trust her *that* much.
No.
