The doctor: “You’re right.”
The context:
This guy is right about one thing: the doc doesn’t give a fuck about this idiot
They’ve got 18 other people to see that day, and most of them probably want help. Might as well go help them.
Something something triage.
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.
I disagree, I think the doc did care but they knew that wasn’t a battle they were going to win so they just conceded and moved on to the next patient.
There’s a saying that you can lead the horse to water but you can’t make them drink and that summarizes the scenario quite well,
if you mentioning a topic spurs the person into a 5 or 10 minute rant about the topic you’re not going to come out on top they already have too firm of an opinion. Just save your energy and help the next guy.
That’s how we were trained in selling merchandise as well, you can give your recommendations but if you say your recommendation and the customer has a firm opinion otherwise, backtrack a little bit and start focusing on the good things that the customers looking for in the product. The only thing pushing the topic further is going to do is going to aggravate them and make them lose faith in your ability to know your merchandise.
also referring to the child comment, this gives mad “look you’re my friend but you argue way the fuck much and I don’t have the energy for this right now” vibes lol
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?

Anon, I’m respectfully advising you to think about this interaction and reflect more on it.
Excellent, politely and respectfully addressing the OP of a post on another site from many years ago.
👍
Well, a psychiatrist or a therapist isn’t there to be combative. They are there to make you feel better. If you believe the medication won’t work and you don’t do anything with it, you actually won’t see any difference - even if it actually helps you, you will think “I just had a better day, it’s all”. SSRIs sadly aren’t magic happy pills, but they do help if you let them, provided you don’t have treatment resistant depression (which could also mean you have something else, for which SSRIs aren’t the full solution, at least that was the case for me).
Not a doctor, just an idiot that went through all of it and trying to cope with ADHD. Medicated of course.
Huh, a post on a site usually frequented by lonely edgelords. A site notorious for racism and violence. And this post is what, appealing to temperance? No, of course not. It’s trying to convince the unstabled medicated ones to stop taking their medication.
Oh. What I took from it was “the doctor thinks OP is an idiot”, which is much funnier.

I dont know, they work pretty good for me. Lifes much easier on them
she wanted to present it as an idea and see what you thought about it
She agreed because she didn’t want to argue with you. Not because you’re right.

There is, but this ain’t it
Sure it is, O(OP) decided his own opinion of a medicine based on what he read on the internet trump’s actually trying to get help.
All problems can be medicated
Medicine often plays an important part in the holistic model of treating problems if prevention has already failed, yeah. Not totally sure what you’re trying to say here
He’s just bringing up a talking point from the mid 2000s
It’s said in irony, and no, you can not medicate away all your problems even though some seem to think different
No one here is saying you can medicate all your problems away. I’ve genuinely never met anyone who claimed you could
I have. People who believe in magic bullshit like homeopathic “medicine” have tried to tell me their herbs can heal anything and everything.
Well, that’s sort of the implication of the post…
Not even remotely.
