Good grief! While I can certainly appreciate the frustration of those ethical practitioners who are trying to provide appropriate care in the sometimes confusing world of managed care, I remember the time when my efforts to get providers to simply give me some idea about how long their particular approach was going to take were met with blank stares and retorts such as, "Well, this is 'PSYCHOTHERAPY,' after all; it took this patient a long time to get so ill, so it will take a long time for us to help him get better!"
Who was it who said something like, "Analysis interminable and terminal?" Maybe it is time for the complainers to work WITH the MCOs in making the system more effective for everyone.
