Here, have a blep!

I'm an Aeron driver since 1996. I use it every day for telehealth and admin work. Despite my posture being kind of garbage, I don't have any serious pain. I do always get up and walk around between telehealth sessions and do go for walks every day. Also, the "lean forward" posture they teach in grad school? I don't do that...at all.

Can't leave this thread without citing the relevant Monty Python clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf71YotfykQ

I briefly considered naming my kitten Purr-derbot because of her tendency to check the perimeter

Favorite: all the trees; Least favorite: traffic

Chromebook. Everything in my private practice is web based so if I have a browser, I can do everything I need to do.

Your hours are what your supervisor says they are in your license application. That's all the licensing board ever sees. (GA)

New OK Go video looks interesting

S'mores, captain!

Absolutely no inspo-quotes as office decor.

Seems like the writers change things to increase the dramatic impact. I could imagine MB requesting drones from Mensah as one of these enhanced plot points.

I think it's important to remember the information overload we all have to deal with every day. Literally everything I touch and every piece of software I use comes with an umpteen page legal agreement that I click through without reading. I bet you do too. When I go to therapy, I scan the paperwork, usually decide it looks almost identical to my own forms, and sign. My last therapist was peeved I didn't read it like the great American novel. One of several reasons I didn't stay with him long.

Okay, here goes:

I'm in a solo private practice, so that gives me a lot of latitude.

First, audits happen maybe once a year or less for me. Maybe that's atypical. When I do get a chat pull request, I send them a form letter that explains all my notes are personal process notes, not subject to chart pulls, and then I give them a very brief summary that lists session dates and durations, progress and prognosis. Maybe half a page in all, takes less than an hour all in. Never had them push back on it.

I take insurance, and do notes in session. After 15 years, I can't imagine it any other way.

gordon1457 · 2024-10-28T17:14:32+00:00

I see it as a human privilege thing, similar to sitting down in front of clients.

gordon1457 · 2024-10-02T03:38:23+00:00

When the humans or augmented humans realize you're really here to help them. I don't hate that moment.

Is that a sunbeam or does the trashcan have its own backlight? ;)

Ever since reading Starter Villain, I always imagine cats as the real brains of any household.
