A friend, who is a psychiatrist, was recounting a session with one of her patients. This patient was on treatment for a substance abuse disorder. The patient wanted prescriptions for a drug which the doctor did not agree with. The patient got wild and threatened the doctor with dire consequences if his demands were not met with. The doctor had to inform the authorities about the threat and seek protection for a few days.
While psychiatry is considered a comfortable speciality by other specialists with pictures of Freud and Jung playing around in their mind, this story says the opposite. Every doctor has to deal with professional hazards and many of them can be life threatening.
