"Psychiatrists are notorious for ignoring physical symptoms.
A friend of mine on antidepressants told the doctor he felt terrible.
Increasing the dose did not cure his raging urinary tract infection, caused by the antidepressant.
I also recall a psychiatrist commenting on George Bush pathetically attempting to appear larger by keeping his arms out from his body. He was too clueless to consider the far simpler explanation of a bullet proof vest."

Epidemic of Mental Illness in Doctors
ReplyDelete~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The emergence of Medically Unexplained Illnesses has revealed an epidemic of
behavioral problems and personality disorders in doctors.
Patients expressing unfamiliar complaints to their physicians often induce the
"It's All In Your Head" (AIYH) or the "That's Impossible" response in doctors
suffering from these behavioral problems and personality disorders.
Physicians fixated upon the metaphysical belief system of "If we don't know
about it, then it doesn't exist" are suffering from a mental defect or
psychological condition known as "Doctors with Unexplained Medical Beliefs":
D.U.M.B.
DUMB doctors are comprised of subgroups characterized by opportunists who are
feigning to be DUMB for monetary gain: "Medicalingering" or of those doctors who
are not in possession of sufficient information to render an intelligent
diagnosis: "Factlessitious Disorder".
Physicians who are suffering from DUMB disorder place an inordinate emphasis on
theories of psychological causality for virtually any unfamiliar complaints that
are presented, and manifest a distinctive lack of observational skills when
confronted with obvious abnormalities.
Doctors who exhibit obsessive preoccupation with psychosocial etiologies should
be regarded with extreme caution:
"Psychosomatization Fixation Disorder" or "Psychologizing" is a distinctive
characteristic of mental illness, and should be considered a warning sign that
the individual is not rational and may in fact be dangerously DUMB.
DUMB disorder may be concomitant but should not be confused with Signs of
Thoroughly Unmistakable Physician Intelligence Deficiency: "S.T.U.P.I.D.", as a
STUPID physician is uniformly incompetent, while a DUMB doctor is only mentally
paralyzed into "psychologizing" by unfamiliar symptoms and complaints.
An immediate investigation is warranted to assess the prevalence of DUMB and
STUPID doctors, and to determine the detrimental impact that physicians
suffering from these mental defects are having on their patients and the health
care system.
