That's an extreme case... I don't think RxP's will be seeing those cases lol
It's not an extreme case. It's every case. When the patient walks in the door, they could have anything. How will you, as a psychologist, know that the person you're looking at doesn't have a previously unidentified heart condition? How will you know you're not looking at a brain tumor masquerading as a psychiatric condition? How will you know the patient doesn't have hepatitis C? Are you seriously telling me, you feel comfortable doing a medical screen on your patients so that you know none of these concerns are relevant?
Because guess what? No one is going to refer "simple" cases to you. If the patient walks in your door, they're yours. They're off the street. Good luck.
