As I sat in the waiting room, I realized I only had pics of Doc, and I while I was lying on a hospital bed after various surgeries and procedures. That had to change.

“A little over half reported it [a psychosomatic or psychiatric misdiagnosis] had led to long-term distrust in doctors, and 72% continued to feel upset about the misdiagnosis today (P < .001).”

draft - idea - something kind of like a Microsoft teams but for the talk therapist/client setup where maybe there's like 5 or 10 or 20 "blank messages" that can be edited per week, just like how regular teams allows us to edit previous messages (or the therapist/client can choose how many blank messages are available together or the therapist can set it up etc...) and then, the client can access it and edit the blank messages to leave text notes, voice notes, photos, video, etc just like regular Microsoft teams, but something that the provider would be more comfortable with and applies with HIPPA compliance etc but would still be Microsoft teams but yeah. I mean, I'd appreciate if my talk therapist was comfortable setting up Microsoft teams lol, (one of them did) but the other one was / is hesitant. What if there was a version that didn't send notifications at all and was "built for therapy" so that the client could go use it like a doc, (all posts being silent, zero notifications, so it wouldn't replace email or phone calls for official correspondence, but function as a "background" receptacle for various things that the patient is working on and wants to share that they can address at their next in person session/meeting
