They may not be able to promise it will get you off your meds but can they really promise it won't either? Go open that can on him and move on!

You should be proud of yourself for that. <br /><br />Your anger is justified. And I kind of wish you do get to put him in his place sometime in the future. It never ceases to amaze me how smart people in a "caring profession" can sometimes be so callous.
