Errors in Judgement, part I

We were just mentioning OCD on the Wheel and I remembered this weird thing I did about 8 or so years ago. I was about 20 pounds over my fighting weight and one of our patients tried to get the ER doc to prescribe Prozac for her. He refused. She was hollering so I tried to calm her and she said that she didn't want it for depression but for weight loss. Light bulb came on. I made an appointment with shrink I knew pretty well and talked to him about how I thought I was depressed because my parents were getting older, and I kept worrying about them. He said I was OCD and suggested a drug. I said that I had been sort of thinking about Prozac so that's what he gave me. I did not lose weight and not only that, it kept me awake at night so quickly dropped it. I was kind of complimented that he thought I was obsessive about anything....it sounded like I was a real type A go getter, which I knew I was not.
