Me: Let's talk about it a bit more
Patient: Just give me medications and I am off.

Yes, it does happen. Just happened.

I can relate!!!
It becomes so destructive when it comes to psychological issues, especially when patients cite silicon valley pop psychology.

Btw someone cited my own video yesterday to disagree :p

Though bad experiences in childhood do happen to a lot of people, this is exactly what we see in so many patients.

Assalamu Alaikum,
My timings at the National Hospital, Lhr, have been changed to 8-10 pm.

Looks like Lahoris are night owls and do not like day timings as mornings are reserved for halwa puri :)

Possibly the most difficult part of being human.

"Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love, and in order to occupy and distract himself without love he gives way to passions and coarse pleasures, and sinks to be******ty in his vices, all from continual lying to other men and to himself. The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than any one. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn’t it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill—he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it, and so pass to genuine vindictiveness."

- Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

P.s. Classics are called cassics for a reason. No wonder the word for literature in Urdu is ادب. It truly teaches us the ادب of living, relating - of all things human.

Concerned about side-effects? Here is one, among many, of the "prescriptions" out of modern university.

P.s. What do we call a doctor who does not tell us about the scope of efficacy and side effects of the prescribed medicines?

Self-help books are a broken parachute: to win friends and influence people, take advice from a social scientist instead

Salam everyone,
I have restarted my practice. But this time, it will only be in person at National Hospital, DHA, Lahore.
You can contact (042) 111 171 819 or +92 0329 7952321

p.s. Though it works, online interaction doesn't "hit" the same way.
