In reply to Anyone see Thornbirds? It explains some conflicts., posted by pinkeye on July 6, 2005, at 18:32:14
> I was watching Thornbirds yesterday, and I was really thinking how much it kind of conveys the problem sometimes going on between the patient and the T.. We feel like a little girl, and the T almost like our father, and the little girl grows up and wants a romantic relationship with him, and he is suffering too..

> Maybe the part about him suffering is not applicable in all cases, but for patients point of view, I thought the movie was really apt.hi pinkeye, Thornbirds. I knew Colleen McCullough when she wrote Tim and was finishing Thornbirds. She lived in New Haven Ct. She was...well, she was larger than life . A big and big hearted woman.
When I last saw her she told me I looked grizzled and fat. She doesn't mince words. She also said that once she became famous, she became a cash cow. Supposedly old and dear friends turned on her and sued her etc., etc. She said that it was so bad that she and her husband moved to the seclusion of NewZealand. I wrote her a letter a number of years ago but there was no reply. We used to correspond in big fat letters which I've kept in some file drawer or other. Well, isn't that special.
but i'm the kind of person who could talk to a wall as well as flesh and blood. got problem there, but i never had clue abou the problems women might have in dealig with a male t
I don't know whether that speaks more to me or my gender. us guys are often not good for very much when it comes to nurturance, feelings, etc. Do women hate as much as men do. I know of one pdoc who I'm going to p*ss on if I get the chance? oops, my bad. Not only uncivil but an unfortunate choice of metaphor. I mean tell him off, face to face. Well, that's my response. By the way, Colleen couldn't stand the thought of Chamberlain playing the role of the priest. For what that's worth. cockeyed.
