Wow! I haven't heard of that yet. I know from experience though that all the pdocs I've seen have pretty much just been worthless. They just go with the current "hot" drug to prescribe and when that doesn't work reluctantly try another.
I've had good luck with therapists though and wish they had the ability to prescribe meds because they sometimes seem to know what would work more than the pdocs. My current therapist has made recommendations for meds to my pdoc, but the doc is not considering them. Must be an ego thing. Quite frankly, with my experience, it wouldn't bother me to see pdocs phased out.
