If so, why is it that you could see your old T, but keep gettiing passed around by p-docs?My T is affiliated with my university, so there is more flexibility there. When I first went I didn't particularly get a choice, but I've specified now that I have arranged to go back.

Have you been on benzos for the anxiety?I haven't really had any anxiety before, nothing usually bothers me. I know this is technically anxiety, but it doesn't feel like it. It just feels annoying.

> It really stinks that you can't see the p-doc of your choice. I sure hope we don't get a health care system like that here. Although I guess the trade off is that the expenses here are high to see the doc of your choice and Rx's are expensive, but I prefer that to someone telling me who I can and can't see. Your GP couldn't Rx the meds you think would help?I counldn't afford to be treated at all under the US system, so I suppose it is good. You can go private if you can afford it. There are limiations on what treatments the GP can initiate, some meds have to be started by a pdoc (but can represcribe).

I hope the time passes quickly too, but I keep thinking 'at least it gives me time to cancel'. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
