Hello all.

Today I was searching the forums for threads about coffee and It's relative effect on DP/DR.. But I ended up finding something more interesting. I found a post by someone whom is not active anymore and has not been for over 10+ years. And in this post, the individual went on to make a brief comment about how they had a medical provider who had DP as well!

I hadn't ever thought of such a thing.... My first reaction was to search google for first hand accounts of medical providers with the Issue. I stumbled upon an article about nursing staff and the effect COVID had on them, but no first hand accounts.

I feel to have someone who has a vast medical background experience this and remark on it would be true beneficial knowledge on the subject.

Have any of you ever met a Doctor/Medical Provider with DP/DR? Have you ever read about one? Please share!

Lol. Well you won’t find anything new about it besides what’s all over Google. Do doctors have supreme knowledge about DP because they’ve qualified as a health care professional? Don’t forget doctors are humans and all humans have their own opinions. These “doctors” can’t just lean on knowledge, it takes a smart human to have good sensibility. But you may go from doctor to doctor until you find the best opinion that suits you If you want

I think dp/dr is a big thing in Doctors and MD's.. but only briefly. DP comes up after prolonged amount of stress which for example a trauma doctor will go through.. 24 hours shift's etc seeing and hearing traumatic things. But I think they overcome it just as quickly again.

It's not a matter of if they have supreme knowledge or not, they put in the time. Also if it was unclear I'm specifically referring to MD's and a quick google search reveals it takes 10-14 years... but any form of healthcare providers opinion on the matter counts to me... Really I just want to find a doctor that is currently going threw, or has gone threw this for a very long time. Preferably current; that way they can actually emphasize, take in what I'm saying, and give meaningful insight. -From everything I've taken in on DP it is all on a person to person basis because it's a coping mechanism that completely detaches us from self/ our standard perception.. Also from what I've gathered DP is mainly treated by a psychotherapist, so to have an MD that would be entirely away from that field would be ideal. Perhaps a neurologist if I get to choose lol.

Yeah that sort of stress just seems daunting.. I couldn't even imagine having to try to save a life. What would you do? How would you do it?... The amount of nerves they build up over the years must be tremendous... -Side note. Years ago I worked in a few nursing homes. I worked in the kitchen doing dishes/cooking so it was just an ordinary job to me... Except one day you walk in and there's a gurney at the backdoor and you know the persons name and all of their favorite foods... If I had to watch that person die, I would have left that place on the spot after I helped them.
