    "Are they, or are all of your problems supratentorial?"

    Is this person related to the hospitalist you mentioned earlier reporting the abnormal neural discharges?

    I let patients go for this with a note detailing how it is important in the doctor patient relationship to have respect, and if there is a lack it is time to move on. Sort of a dear John because you never loved me anyway.

    Kind of the equivalent of a non-engagement letter for a lawyer. Read: I wouldn't get myself mixed up in your crazy shit for any amount of money.

    well, that sounds like an Axis II diagnosis to me! refer to psychiatry ASAP, and put this fellow on your 'do not accept referrals" list.
