[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My doctor at Kaiser often wants to know if I am depressed so they can give out anti depression meds. If I am healthy I physically, I feel well mentally. I guess it's cheaper to drug patients than to help them be physically well.[/quote] I’m a doctor. Unfortunately I can’t fix a lot of the issues that patients are having - if they come to me super stressed about work and life I can offer emotional support, recommend therapy and prescribe anti depressants. I can’t change the world. To answer the main question. I care and it burns me out. That’s why I’m so part time (barely see patients) so I think it self selects a bit. If you care too much, you can’t do this job for long.[/quote]
