Just learned about the "Boston Interview" used to assess psychological suitability for gastric bypass surgery.

@brocktice Thanks... I hope you feel better, too. At least my immune system is getting stronger.

Walking home. 45 blocks to go. Still ill; this is the substitute for running.

Getting things lined up for a rotation change. The only thing that is constant in medical training is the constant change.

@progressnotes I've only visited two floors of the AMNH. Like many other things in NYC, it's glorious and overwhelming.

And medicating someone just because it is easier doesn't make it "right" or justified.

Life can be hard and, you know, sometimes we feel terrible. That's part of life experience.

(Who am I to judge what is "appropriate"?)
|
|
|
They want their lives to be easier, less distressing. It's hard to see raw emotion, even when it is appropriate.

|
Sometimes MDs ostensibly ask me to help care for a patient, but they seem more interested in making the pt quiescent.
|
|
|
The further I go in my training, the more I see that agenda. Intolerance easily blossoms.
