Anesthesiologists hold that title. Psychiatrists prescribe psychiatric medications. They rarely counsel. That is the work of psychotherapists and other counselors.
So, a psychiatrist only prescribes once a client is referred to him by mental health professionals? OK, makes sense.
But what would drive an anesthesiologist to suicide? I knew Army doctors who chose anesthesiology because it was the `bloodless’ specialty in the surgical field.
Maybe it’s the stress; I was told by one that during surgery the anesthesiologist walks a tightrope maintaining a precise level of anesthetic that produces insensibility but nothing more.
Anyway, this Dr. Bandy Lee is highly unprofessional by offering a supposed diagnosis with no actual examination of her “patient”.
