i still think the doc thing is hilarious- i always thought of those sort of occurrences as things that happen in poorly written melodramas (ie, daytime soap operas).. then, it happened irl! rofl i didnt even find out that he had left the country until i was talking with my vocational rehabilitation case manager half a year later!
my biggest challenges with finding another doc have been transportation and my insurance company- the nearest provider under my coverage (that is certified to provide that level of diagnostics) is about 150 miles away. i have a car now, though, so i can tackle the big psych issues now biggrin
the difficulty of stepping back and looking at the whole thing is that i then see whole myriad of things that need working on lol
It is funny! ...Also kinda rude he didn't tell you himself at least.. sweatdrop
eek 150 miles?! Dang... Well good luck! 3nodding
Oh, I see. Zooming out just makes the little things more obvious.. Hmm.. confused
the last time i had spoke to him, he had called me in last minute to run a few more tests. at the end of the session, he explained that his wife had been diagnosed with cancer and that he had to leave for the metro area to get her treatment immediately. he not only assured me that he would get my file completed, but told my voc rehab case worker that he would get files completed for all of the patients that she had sent him once he arrived in portland.
it was about six months later that polly called me and told me that i would have to do a new screening with another dr and explained that the previous one had gone to malaysia to get affordable treatment for his wife.
yes, that exactly the issue i have. ive found that i really have to just walk away from the project for a while to get some perspective on my nit-picking. sometimes, i will even take breaks of a few days, come back, see exactly what the real issue is and how to fix it.
i used this same technique in college- i called it a brain break. when ive pushed myself too far and i just cant take anymore in, i'll switch gears entirely. i might do 2 hours of homework, followed by an hour of gaming, when i come back to the school work, im fresh again biggrin
Oh... Well, that's understandable to an extent.. Racing out of the country to try and help his wife, but... at the same time, that doesn't change that he didn't notify his patients of what was happening... neutral
Oh! I've done that before too! When the project just gets too frustrating, just step away and do something else for a while, even a short while, and come back when your head has cooled! 3nodding biggrin
