How strange!!!!! How very odd that a neurologist would frown on psychiatric medication. I thought most doctors had outgrown that kind of archiac
thinking, that therapy and ADs had an unacceptable stigma. Just amazing.

I have only two guesses. The first is that this neurologist, despite his training and the fact that he ought to know better, is a "macho man" who believes you should be able to "tough it out"
through anything. This kind of person really wanted to be in the Navy Seals. Also, this sort of doctor scares the hell out of me, because I'm afraid he might treat his patients the same way
and is so stingy with pain medication that his patients really suffer.

My second guess is this. I've worked in hospitals for 20 years, and normally your run-of-the-mill neurologist is just a real bastard. They scream, they throw things, they call you names. Whether this is because they honestly believe they are a deity or because they have such a stressful job,
many of them act this way.

To be honest, I've had arguments with nurses who believe that cardiologists are even worse than neurologists. But for my money, I'm betting on neurologists as being one of the most stressed-out, high-strung, opinionated, unpleasant people I've ever had the misfortune to meet. Actually, it was a major deciding factor in my life to specialize in orthopedics so that I would no longer have to deal with neurologists.

So you ignore that crap, and you take care of yourself.

P.S. I apologize in advance to patients who love their neurologists. This was my experience and my personal opinion only. However, if you've ever had a tray of Betadine thrown at you, your opinion might be different.
