I'm working on a counter-detailing presentation for some PCPs in New Hampshire (actually, Kevinmd's group)and I liked the recent posts on how to choose an antidepressant.Daniel Carlathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317615613596329209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-70214861780296046742008-01-30T13:52:00.000-05:002008-01-30T13:52:00.000-05:00OT but good psychiatrist news from me! My psychia...OT but good psychiatrist news from me! My psychiatrist has accepted a new job at a big academic medical center in Philadelphia. Since last July, I've been driving almost an hour (and on the worst ride home it once took an hour and 45 minutes) to go see my psychiatrist at a location in New Jersey. This meant a good 3 hours out of my day for psychiatry appts, which nobody in my family liked that I was doing. Plus, bridge tolls, gas, etc etc... Well, I did like refilling the tank in Jersey, since the gas is so much cheaper there, but still - it's not good to need to fill up so often! ;)<BR/><BR/>So - I was very happy for him! It came at a funny time because I was just thinking the other day and wondering if the job he has now is the job he really wanted when he finished all his training. I've been working with him since residency, as most know, and I've followed him from when he was a resident at the same hospital where I work, to a fellow at another big academic institution, to his current attending position in NJ - and now back to the same place where he did his fellowship. Our arrangements can stay the same, including costs for now, which is a huge relief!<BR/><BR/>Starting in March, no more driving across 2 states to see my psychiatrist! Yippeeeee!! :)<BR/><BR/>Just thought I'd share my psychiatry-related news!<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>Carrie :)NeoNurseChichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120931307124798416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-11321241495474878182008-01-30T11:50:00.000-05:002008-01-30T11:50:00.000-05:00Carrie, I think you are right on.

Paul is very realistic, and I think they did a good job of casting him.<BR/>I'm halfway through Wednesday's episode. I'll finish the rest by this afternoon... which means I'll need to find something else to do until next week.Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897760883997811787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-65314931756422016552008-01-30T09:50:00.000-05:002008-01-30T09:50:00.000-05:00I watched it.

They are very overdramatic, and almost comical in their presentations. Again, I found myself laughing at some of the stereotypes portrayed. I watched Wednesday's episode, too, as all the episodes are on HBO On Demand (and I think available for viewing on HBO.com), and I felt the same way about it. I do like the show - I just find the patients to be a little over the top! We'll see how it plays out!<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>Carrie :)NeoNurseChichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120931307124798416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-33733801087825856352008-01-30T01:26:00.000-05:002008-01-30T01:26:00.000-05:00the only podcast I could download was Friday's!

It is a little over the top at points (REAL therapy sessions would bore the hell out of viewers, got to spice it up a bit), but I see some elements of truth in it. Some of the character struggles are pretty compelling... And I have to admit, there have been quite a few times where he resonates as a therapist with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-43668696668863244412008-01-29T22:13:00.000-05:002008-01-29T22:13:00.000-05:00Didn't watch it tonight since I was watching House...Didn't watch it tonight since I was watching House instead, but I DVR'd it, and I might watch it while I fall asleep tonight. How was it? Any better than last night?<BR/><BR/>You think Paul is hot?
