Bullshit. You're a Physician Associate aren't you? I just went through all the "doctors" on my local GPs surgery and a lot of them are PAs. Including the ones who said "we can't prescribe anti-psychotics anymore as GPs"*. Even though I was begging them to cos the voices were killing me. Couple of weeks later I was taken to hospital in a coma after a suicide attempt - cos the voices wouldn't stop!! And no one would help me.
Oh and I also went to my local A&E 5 fucking times begging for help cos the voices were threatening to torture and kill me.
Yes I said the magic words - "I'm going to kill myself".
They said: "Sorry but we've no beds - go home".
I'm tempted to complain to the NHS, hospital and MP but considering I do just want to fucking die, still, what's the point?

*They said only psychiatrists can prescribe them! I've been prescribed quetiapine before by GPs but apparently something changed. Personally I think it's just PA's can't prescribe them.
