[QUOTE="bzymomto4, post: 114704, member: 4477"] I believe that's true but I still feel resenetment for every Doctor that won't even give my daughter the opportunity of an evaluation before taking away all chances of saving her quality of life. If the illness gets bad enough, it isn't something you can get back... ever. I am from a family of young suicides. We are now at a point where non psychiatric doctors won't treat her because her anxiety level is too high - such as we experienced at the orthodontist yesturday. We called her primary doctor to prescribe a pretreatment for a anxiety and he said no way. so her treatments have all been cancelled. This dispite the fact she has some rare tooth pesentation that will abcess if not fixed. But now they feel her anxiety is too much and they don't do sedation because this isn't a proceedure that should be anxiety provoking. Shortage or not psychiatry is a shamful specialty who desides who is deserving of an appointment and who can't even get a shot. I m a medical nurse and it doesn't matter how many beds and doctors are available, every pnuemonia, heart attack etc etc gets treated. Even when it means I am at work 6 hours later than normal - leaving the hospital at 4 in the morning with BiPolar (BP). Doctors need to develop a conscience for their profession and find a way and make a way - Just as they want the hospitals and nurses to do when they deem a pt in need. Obviously this is a very hot button subject for me. [/QUOTE]
