its sort of redundant now that seen bits of process w dr and found place that thinks does it ie what dr has done has to be wrong, (but it is acceptable?) I doubt it re wrong form and wrong item re his bloody -mindedness and confusion. @StuF
yeah not expecting much , but past caring if that makes sense..

That is really awful @TAB I spoke to a psychiatrist once who was treating return soldiers and she gave me a negative impression over the phone. I did not like her. She was obviously not very nice to her clients. She was either not taking more clients or only taking return soldiers. But I would not see her with the way she came across. I'm sorry this has been your experience. I've met some bad personnel in the hospital system. They hate their jobs and hate their patients and mistreat them. Have seen the same in rehabilitation
Is your sister working as a psychologist still or is she doing other stuff with her life @StuF? My ex sister in law was moving into forensic psychology

I was a bit taken aback when 'old' dr saw list of things avail and got all sniffy , like what do you want, think local GP may have said lets get it up and running them take it to the cleaners .. @StuF it says 'may include' psych, psychiatrist , gp
hospital admissions, drug and alc programs, counselling programs also vaguely mentions gps referral to physio etc, but does not say who pays it
