When I worked at a restaurant there was a local doctor that would go out of his way to make sure he had his name as “Dr. (His name) MD” in our reservation system that only employees could see. He went as far as demanding to see his reservation in our system when he came in for his dinner to make sure we didn’t lie to him and put it in exactly as he requested. I get wanting credit for all your hard work but it was some total weirdo behavior on his part. Out of the thousands of people and dozen of doctors I put into the system he was the only person who ever made such a fuss about it and the only one to make us show him his reservation name like that.

There's literally a comment in the article from the venue owning up to the oversight and saying they're committed to being more prepared in the future. Don't you think that if there was a ramp backstage, the venue would have used their press comment to tell everyone "sorry about that, but it was a mixup and they could have just gone backstage but they didn't ask."

Everyone in this thread who didn't bother to read the article or use their brain for 60 seconds are so damn sure of themselves and their own horseshit. lol.

That paper is just saying that, instead of putting everything in a box with a label, a more flexible approach would probably better serve patients. It doesn't suddenly invalidate an entire profession; in fact, it would do the exact opposite. Insurance companies and government agencies won't let the DSM go though.

Psychiatry is advancing quickly in our current era, so saying it's essentially a worthless profession is extremely short-sighted.
