Have you ever gone into your pdoc appt with a list of questions? I have.
Then halfway home, you realize that they really didn't answer any of them. I have.
What are some of the courses psychiatrist are required to take?Evasion 201: Here you will learn the art of the non-answer. AKA the side-step boogie.
Untruth: 6 years. Here you will learn how to catch your patients lying while, at the same time, learn to be an excellent liar yourself.
Diet, exercise, spirituality, faith: No requirements.
Empathy: Psychologist only. They fake it much better. Hugs? Are you nuts?Pills, shapes, and colors: Sign up early and bring your crayons.
Caring: Hey, we're doctors. You expect us to help and care.
Investing: 8 years.
Laughter: Or, the bluer(?) the patient, the greener your wallet. How to suppress laughter.
Transportation: A study of the finest European cars so you will know what's hip. But if your patient complains about money, be sure and say,"That's not important to happiness." If you have some, of course.
Minimizing: This course deals with side-effects of those pill things we prescribe.
How are you sleeping? 8 years
How does that make you feel? 8 years
Bullsh*tting: Fun course that covers topics such as..We'll have you well in 6 months. My first shrink actually told me that.
Love: Oh, paleazzze, we're doctors.
