In reply to you think pdocs like to do consultations with...., posted by obsidian on July 23, 2009, at 21:34:00
Hi Obsidian,
My pdoc seems quite engaged in continuing education and updating his knowledge. I know he also talks w/ people in adjunct fields like endocrinology and other MD's. He has his favored views and personal interests w/in his field--you know, his 'take' on things. However, he's also open to new ideas and this seems like as it should be....however, he is the first shrink I have seen that seems to relish acquiring knowledge. Others have been open to consultation to varying degrees. (And a few just don't seem to give a sh*t.... I mean, it's just a job to them. Oh, and I suppose some could be vindictive or vain if they felt 'threatened' but that's not right, is it?)
I don't know your shrink--what do you think of him/her?
good luck
