One idea to share is if you have a question about the medication, call the pharmacist. That person actually has more education in the drugs than the doctors do. They can tell you what is safe and unsafe, what the dose is, what an over dose is etc. I call my pharmacist to make sure that combining two drugs will be safe to do. They are there 24 hours a day. Sometimes the office workers are not the best at giving doctors messages. This happened to me. I had left a couple of messages that the doctor didn't get. When he did get the message and called me back, he was grateful to know I had been leaving other messages that didn't come his way. Make sure you are not being the boy who cried wolf when calling the doctor. That way when you do need extra help in a hurry, the doc realizes it is a real emergency for you.

Clients definitely need to learn what is important and what can wait, although sometimes there is a fine line there and they don’t really know which way to turn. I guess I feel that it is best for them to make that call when undecided to help ease anxiety and fear that goes along with not feeling well. Thank you for your comment.

I hope you have good experiences with your doctors. You are correct…there are many wonderful doctors out there. They do deserve their time and space away from work; however, there is definitely a certain oath we all take as doctors when we take clients as our responsibility and really should be readily available for those in true need.

Yes, too many docs take on clients and they do not give them proper care. I get very "up in arms" when I hear from clients that this is happening to them. And, as you say, clients have to choose what is important and what can wait. When one is in distress, they often times do not draw a line between emergency and problems that can wait. Hello Doc,

How many times have we be in distress and called our trusted doctor and have them NOT return our calls? This is a busy two way street. Doctors must have their own lives and their time away from psychiatry and medicine, but taking the oath that they did when choosing to become a doctor brings unavoidable responsibility. There are many many wonderful doctors out there, but too many who do not make themselves available to their patients when they are crying out for help. My Dear Dr,
