What you give to your patients, at least from what is related, anyway.<BR/><BR/>I hope you do well in your changed situation, your different arrangement or I'm not sure how to describe it.<BR/><BR/>I thought of you a bit, Clink, when I was looking at the pics of the inside of my knee, and it reminded me of a time when you had posted something about the brain, with a link to something that you warned had rather graphic (medically) brain stuff/pictures or something . . . . and I had thought gross at the time, but when I was looking at the pics of inside my knee, surprisingly I didn't find it gross at all. Upset by the extent of the osteoarthritis, yes, but it wasn't gross. It was cool to see inside there. In color, for some reason all I could picture was the B&W of x-rays.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, me not being grossed out by it made me think of you. And that gave me a little smile at a time when any such thing was most needed and very welcome.Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-3201373355012534762008-05-08T19:04:00.000-04:002008-05-08T19:04:00.000-04:00This post speaks volumes to the effects of psychot...This post speaks volumes to the effects of psychotropic medications.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-89791978575547594622008-05-08T09:42:00.000-04:002008-05-08T09:42:00.000-04:00Is Clink shrinking Dinah?

And you complain when I put words in your...OMG!!!!! And you complain when I put words in your mouth. <BR/><BR/>Listen up my fellow shrink rappers: I am an OUTPATIENT Shrink... I have always worked as a COMMUNITY psychiatrist where I do "only med checks" and I have never felt like the interactions are meaningless to the patients. They are briefer, less frequent, I carry a higher per-working-hour caseload than I do in private practice (in some clinics, a FT psychiatrist has a caseload of 500 or more patients) and because of this, I don't get to know the patients as well--as you put it, I don't remember everyone and every detail.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes you can change someone's life in a sentence and to the patient, their psychiatrist is their psychiatrist-- they are often a meaningful person. Sometimes, the brevity of the situation, combined with certain personality combos-- leads people to feel unheard or dismissed by their Med Checking shrinks-- I know this because when they come hunting for a psychiatrist who "Does Therapy" they tell me.<BR/><BR/>It doesn't mean I don't think the relationship has meaning to the patient. Oy. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to bed now. I've had it with you people.Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227988351623862689noreply@blogger.com
