Maybe they've done some psychiatric research on the subject? Hey, that could make your new job doing pre op evals much easier. No need to spend an hour or two actually meeting with the client. Just have them send you a couple pictures, take a quick look and declare them fit for surgery or mentally ill and in need of treatment first.

Awesome idea! I could just mail them their Beck Depression Inventory and they could send the photos when they return it and then I could do the job from home in my jammies!

Kelly,
I have many times asked you for help and never once have you answered me inappropriately or rudely. This person has mental illnesses themselves. Thank you for all you do on this board. You have answered many of my questions and I have read many of your posts. This person is a jerk and doesn't have anything to do but ***** about someone else because their life is in shambles. I agree that we all have some form of mental illness, whether it be depression, bipolar or schizophrenia who gives a ..... If they didn't want help from anyone on this board, then don't post here. This forum is for support, not to bring people down. If they didn't want your help, then they shouldn't have posted here. Thanks again.....

By the way, I got my approval on my surgery and it is scheduled for April 9...one month away...yeah. I am excited but scared. As you know, it is a life changing experience, but I am ready for my life to change in this area.

Hey, we ALL have issues! Sorry that you got such a message and for her/him to be a "professional" in the mental health feilds she is seriously lacking in any skill! She/he is a bully and felt you were a good target!
I appreciate all the advice that you give out! Can't please everyone and I don't think that this person has many quality relationships!
Has it been a full moon? The crazies have been out in full force!

WOW. I'm sorry you got that message, correctly or not. No one needs that kind of abuse. I am new here, but I have appreciated the advice I have gotten from you.

I guess you should just consider the source.
