The Agency EFE  has just released the news that, in Spain, suicide kills more people than traffic accidents. According to the National Statistics Institute (INE),  there are 9 suicides every day in Spain. The total number of suicides in 2008 was 3,421. This number is greater than the number of people who died in traffic accidents (3,021). Spain invests heavily to combat traffic accidents, yet no effort is made to address the high rate of suicide.

The chronic patient versus the psychiatrist

Many patients complain about the attitude of some psychiatrists:

The consultation with the psychiatrist proceeds as follows:  1) Listen  2) Advise  3) Write a prescription. Then all is forgotten, until next time, and so it continues.!!!!! ……
This is their job, this is their time, this is the way they operate. You will not succeed in budging them from this pattern....
Why study further? He has already studied enough  ...
Why keep abreast of research? .....
To encourage you, or to assist you to progress - well, that sounds unoothodox. And he will find excuses not to.....
If, as a psychiatrist, you disregard the protocols taught in Medical School, it is your problem, and you will receive no support

The psychiatrist is more of a bureaucrat than a doctor. A true doctor wants to heal you, and to encourage you. A bureaucrat, on the other hand, would find that too much effort, it would waste his time, and make him feel uncomfortable .. (Translated  from “Hispaesquizoide”)  (08-03-2010)
