After documenting the extensive issues (through email) that I’ve had getting my meds, my GP, after having already written me two extensions for my psychiatric meds, wrote me another. Gods bless her.

A good doctor is honestly worth their weight in gold, it can be so hard to find good medical providers

I’m so glad you’ve found yourself a good one 😊

I thought this was the D&D community and got very confused.

Wrong acronym.

Nice! My GP listens, takes time and does the extra mile for me. Despite my crappy insurance that pays him very little for it.

But sometimes I blame him for not catching the ADD earlier. He prescribed me benzos as early as 2009 when things were repeatedly getting “too much” in every job or relationship after a couple of months. On the other hand, when he finally did refer me to a psychiatrist, he didn’t catch it either.
