Well the 'unique' quality was that I trusted him before I met him (which was reaffirmed when I saw how professional he was and how he did not get out prescription pad even once yet). This psychiatrist's son was one of my former doctors, though only 3 times (thru military). Son tried to hook me up w/dad about a year or 2 ago, but dad wasn't on military insurance list (no good PDocs are) His son left a lasting impression on me. I know he is not his son, but what I felt from his son moved me so much, that it led me to his father.
When I called to see him, I told psychiatrist father that I knew his son, and this was why I sought treatment with him. I told this psychiatrist I trusted him completely during our first meeting.
Dinah, given what you say below, I can only say I highly doubt it. He is extremely professional. That is why I'm so confused - this is the main issue: if my strong attachment is the issue, then I think he would have said something like "I am not going to be practicing long enough to complete a course of treatment..blah blah blah and given your strong attachment, transferrence...." His not being straight up with me is what is strange.
So maybe the rheumatologist was a mistake, but how could he get doctors mixed up? Maybe he is sick-I saw boxes in his office and piles of folders and stuff like he was moving. How could this have changed from 3 weeks ago though? Well this thought came from 1st therapist who had pancreatic cancer when he took me on, and we only were together 5 sessions are so. I'm sad to think those thoughts, but this reminds me of that. But 3 weeks ago...he took me on as a new patient?
"Given what you've said about his strange referrals, I wonder if he is having some sort of issues that may have bled into your experience with him. Because what you describe today seems a bit odd, with rheumatology referrals. Maybe the rheumatologist has a son? Or a dual specialty?"
