Personally this sounds greedy and not a healthy way a doctor should look at a
patient. If you tell me your area (Private email is acceptable) I can give you
some local resources in your area. *Grin* Being a member/volunteer/COmmittee
member for a MH Association means I have lots of resources trapped in my brain
and files. So.. If you want I can try to help.

Oh yes.. Very much so.. But Doctors are often .. concerned by seeing
another patient who goes "My GP won't give me drugs I think I need."
Personally I think Kaat needs to see a psych for a consult to the GP..
Her GP should be able to get her one from the nearest hospital or even a
psych hospital
