I had finally switched family doctors about 18 months ago and it was the best thing I ever did. My new doctor is probably in his early thirties and it is his first "family practice." He's not scared to mention the psychological aspects of my illness or to discuss medications etc. The previous doctor treated me like a "child." Gees, I give my children more information than he gave me. I find the unkown causes more anxiety than knowing. I've only seen the one psychiatrist here in Ontario and I'd prefer to pay to see a psychologist than go see him or any other.
Hopefully with each generation we will become a better society. With the article DJ posted I do believe it is an example of this happening!
PS Welcome back DJ missed you!
