In reply to what do docs do if you disobey them?, posted by cybercafe on April 2, 2003, at 0:49:05
When you are seeing a pdoc, you are basically outsourcing to a mental health consultant. You are paying for professional services.
Think about how you would react if you hired a carpet cleaner and when he got to your house he told you that your rug did not look very dirty to him; he did not feel that it merited his lugging in the shampooer, and then he suggested you just lower your expectations for cleanliness?
After you caught your breath from laughing you would fire his butt and take out the yellow pages to find someone else who is willing to perform the services you are seeking.
And there is your answer.
