The doctor: "You're right."

The context:

This guy is right about one thing: the doc doesn't give a fuck about this idiot

Or they know there's no point trying to rationalize someone out of an opinion they didn't reason themselves into. Oh, and it's worthless to prescribe medication for someone who doesn't want to take it.

Of course they do, they care enough to present what they think will be a successful option. Just cuz they don't want to get in a fight doesn't mean they don't care at all.

Blue is a huge asshole, but I agree that this is likely what actually happened.

be me
finally a practicing doctor after an eternity of school
on my way to the next patient
overwhelming stench of B.O. as I open the door
try my best to hide my disgust and ask how he's doing
patient goes on a rant about how life is unfair, something about jewish people and 13%
just nod along as I pull up his info
guy is clearly depressed
suggest ssri's to improve his outlook on life
youveactivatedmytrapcard.jpg
guy proceeds to spend 20 minutes talking about how he saw a post online saying ssri's are bad, it's mind control, and he mentions jewish people again
already 5 minutes late for my next patient
nod and agree and tell him to have a nice day

Why can't these people understand I'm just trying to help them?

The doctor's internal monologue: "Oh God it's one of these assholes who did 10min of googling and reading forums and thinks they know every single thing about medical science. Fuck fuck fuck he won't shut up I shouldn't have suggested that. OK, deflect, call him smart and move on that'll get him to shut up finally"

Or... God dammit, another person seeking to abuse benzos. That's like half of all new appointments for psychiatry. The minute the patient goes on a rant about SSRI, you can guess where they are directing the conversation to.

"If I push on this, I will alienate myself from this clearly mentally unstable patient and at that point there is no chance to help them"

It's literally how mental health professionals are trained.

Doesn't surprise me, and that's actually quite smart.

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz -1 points 4 months ago

You're right.

De-escalating with mentally troubled people.

Step 1: agree with them
