This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean, it actually is completely outside the realms of possibility? You could lose your license for ambushing a patient with 2 other psychiatrists who haven't been previously approved by the patient to receive a case history.

Like, I was amused by the story, but let's not pretend this is has any relationship with a factual reality

no. additional psychiatrists is not a bad thing, and when studying an interesting case more psychiatrists is better. but the fact that anon was "ambushed" means either the story is fake or anon goes to a career oriented psychiatrist and not a patient oriented one.

lets not forget, psychiatrists are human too.

The text doesn't necessarily need to be a 1:1 recounting of events. If this weren't fake, what would have been said is "Anon, I have these two other psychiatrists who I would like to assist me, is it okay for them to be present during our sessions"

Still a shitty thing to do when they could have just asked before hand as to not put them on the spot.

no serious psychiatrist would risk their patient trust pulling something like that. but there is a considerable percentage of non-serious psychiatrists out there.

but lets face it, a truly anonymous creator would be a career making case study.
