Ah, I see... Admittedly, both character bsis are genius in their mental processes.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, I have to respectfully disagree with some of the thoughts offered. A doctor who is too clinical in their approach may achieve results in the physical medicine field, but for a doctor in the field of treating mental illnesses would have a very difficult time building trust and repore with a patient if they are too distant and clinical. There is a fine line, but without the trust, a patient needing mental treatment would find less positive results, I think.<br/><br/>Then, I personally would feel uncomofrtable if I ever saw a doctor who acted like they had more important things to do than treat me... like their golf game or meeting the nurse in the closet. ;)<br/><br/>A comment on the whole mental scalple thing... It brings to mind a skit Jeff Foxworthy did about rednecks and their expectations.<br/><br/>"I mean, no one wants to see their surgeon and hear, "Ok, what we're gonna do is saw the top of your head off and root around in there with a stick until we find that dad-burn clot."" hehe<br/><br/>And, I would point out such characters as Dr. Peter benten of ER fame, who was dying to cut into someone, anyone he could find. I fear that there are doctors like this out there and a little empathy would be helpful. lol<br/><br/>But, all things aside, the character of our good shrink is an interesting one and I meant no offense in my thoughts. :)
