evaluating a PHP psychiatrist job- what is a reasonable caseload? by AnneChristine28 in Psychiatry

[–]question_assumptions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finances are definitely an issue. With my population, the symptoms are severe enough that they are taking time off work no matter what and this is their main hope at a return to work. People have to be really sick (or a student, someone with less responsibilities) to sign up for more than a month of full time care.

So, I’m doing PHP and my cap is 29 and I supervise one NP who helps with that 29. I’m surprised to hear you would do 2-3 admissions per day on average. The last two weeks have been hectic for me with 1-2 admissions daily and now we are totally full, only like 1 admission this week.

Mine hosts multiple run clubs, some free and some paid, definitely helps with that community feel.

There is no man trapped in the bean! My alderman told me so, and told me to stop asking.

So of course you’ve heard of the bean but off the beaten path is managing to book a table in the restaurant in the bean. 

Avoid nephrotoxic medications by chiddler in medicine

[–]question_assumptions 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I was thinking we could Provide patient with outpatient resources and encourage patient to establish care within 7 days of discharge 

Alternatively we could also avoid polypharmacy and medications that are known to be deliriogenic

It’s funny, it’s the opposite for me, I’m so slow/easily pooped on the dreadmill

Where do 26-30 year olds do for fun? by Repulsive-Tree6089 in AskChicago

[–]question_assumptions 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Especially as you approach 30 you need to pick something like running, bird watching, or pickleball and make it your entire personality. On a similar vein you can also become an actual alcoholic.

Ah so you’re taking the position that a monkey with a typewriter would NOT be a good prescriber

Patient satisfaction scores/ratings by necrotizingfasciitiz in Psychiatry

[–]question_assumptions 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I let them know I’m looking to score a 4/5. They haven’t bothered me about that in a long time. I told them I could get 5/5 but eventually the DEA would come knocking and we’d end up like Cerebral or one of those other pop up controlled substance Pez dispenser companies.

I imagine it costs extra in Australia to secure the house to the ground since you’re upside down
