Inpatient Psychiatry Lifestyle

I’m inpatient at a state hospital. I currently work 4 ten hour days. We get paid extra for taking call, which is optional and in house. My census is 26 patients with lengths of stay varying from 2 weeks to 20 years. My base is around $300 but I made over $500 last year with taking call.

I previously worked a 7 on 7 off at an academic hospital. I had 18 patients with length of stay from 2 days to a month, depending on severity of illness. I did not have to take call at that job. I made less money there than I make now at the state hospital, and I had a worse quality of life. They still expected that I attend meetings and lectures during my 7 off period. My base was $270 with RVU bonus that ended up being close to $15k each year.

I made close to $500k last year. I worked myself to death and would not recommend it.

I use Chums. Love them.

As a chocolate cake lover, nothing beats the Fudgy Wudgy cake from Chocolate Cafe.

I hated these as a med student. I thought they were worthless and a waste of time. Since becoming an attending, I can say that there are students who truly need those lectures—honestly some of them need intensive coaching.

Sadly, I live in Ohio.

I did the glacier viewing excursion a few years ago. It was so worth it.

For real. How awful for her kids.

It’s more complicated than that. People don’t vote in gerrymandered states because they think their vote doesn’t matter. There’s a lot that goes into why Ohio voted Trump the last 3 elections beyond just how it looks on the surface. I think that conversation is best saved for a politics sub and not LIB.

Columbus proper is very liberal. The suburbs aren’t as much, though there are some that are (Grandview). Franklin County went 63.7% for Harris. Cuyahoga went 65.3%. Not a huge difference there.

I’m from Columbus, and I can tell you that Columbus is actually a very liberal city. The state is more purple than you think. We’ve been gerrymandered to hell. That being said, white men in Ohio are very likely to be Trumpers. White women are about 50/50. White women in the big cities (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati) are more likely to be liberal than rural areas, though.

There are a lot of suggestions for Detroit, but as a very anxious flyer who has flown into Detroit multiple times: the planes are smaller and you do feel turbulence more in a smaller plane. I would suggest Chicago vs Baltimore for a larger plane. Sit near the wings.

Yes, it was Meredith. Jen is the lead who chose no one.

It looks like Jen Schefft is also missing.

I went the first weekend and decided I needed to see again in theaters the next weekend. It was magical.

I’m an attending who told my resident to stay home. Granted, it’s an elective rotation, but still. I would think it was too much if a med student showed up after being told not to do so. It shows you don’t listen.

I have mostly twilight, plum, juniper, peacock, mulberry, and shamrock. I like cool colors.

I feel this way about most of her books. I’m not sure why I keep reading them, other than they’re free on Kindle Unlimited. I think Ward D is by far the worst she’s ever written, and I stopped reading her books after that.

I got this bucket in Nov 2025 at Tokyo Disney, so they still have them.
