in reply to @fef A "little white lie?" There are special requirements in California for psychologists, who I am sure you know have PhD. These people go to university to specialize in psychology and obtain a doctorate. In my case, she told me the following after she had surgery last year: "Now I understand, as a doctor, how patients feel these days when they go to the doctor. Medical care has certainly changed." "After my surgery when my doctor told me not to return to work, I chose you as my "test client" because I "know all about the medical problems you are facing and can help you and your clinicians come up with a diagnosis." "I know all about dementia and the friend you are taking care of because I did my residency in neurology."
I rest my case
