I always hear stories of people having such great doctors, but it seems to me all my doctors see me as just a #. They prescribe medications that are contraindicative for different reasons, they don't listen when I mention certain things that bother me about medications, and they don't pay attention to diagnoses that other doctors give me.
I see my psychiatrist once a month and he asks me the same questions and seems suprised to hear/see things that we talk about the month before. Whenever we discuss them he's always writing in a notepad...so I am just starting to wonder....WHAT THE HECK IS HE WRITING ABOUT?
I too often feel like a number. Like I waited in line to buy a pizza and finally get to see the cashier who is in a damned big hurry.
