Inside the mind of a psychiatrist – Page 50 – Inside The Mind of a Psychiatrist

It is July 1969 at PGH (Philadelphia General Hospital), a locked, ancient, psychiatric fortress. Enter the world of psychiatry through the eyes of a 1st year psychiatric resident on his first day of training.

A psychotic, paranoid man smashes a piano stool and using the legs as bludgeoning propellers, tries to kill everyone in his path. He is eventually controlled and placed in leather restraints.

The next day, this clueless resident is assigned to treat, The Man with a Microphone in his Ear. Learning about Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorders, and Paranoid States is the easy part. Overcoming his own fear and how to talk to a psychotic person is something he’ll never forget and will shape his entire psychiatric career.

If this appetizer piques your appetite, check out any of my mystery novels. Each one is a trip into the mind of my characters, and maybe into yourself.

Well, it can of course buy Twitter. Just ask Elon Musk. Is it fun, Mr. Musk, having millions of people furious that you have so much control? I don’t think that it really bothers him. Perhaps being the richest man in the world or sadly now the 2nd richest, buys a lot of FU money? Also, he can afford the mere 44 bill. If you’re angry at him, just drop off Twitter. Not so complicated. If everyone ignored Twitter it would soon be worth 0 Billion. On the other hand, he really makes a great car. Seriously, Tesla is terrific. Spend your time reading about E cars and ignore Twitter. Maybe that’s the solution?

But, let’s think about it. What can 44 billion buy? 20 or so Empire State buildings. Really! It would cost approximately 1.4 billion to buy one.

It can buy ocean liners, many many planes, Fortune 100 companies like Kraft and Ford etc., thousands of houses, it can get millions of homeless people off the street, build dozens and dozens of acute psychiatric hospitals, and on and on.

So everyone. Come up with a new good idea. Make some money. Buy what you want. If people are angry that you’re driving around in a Tesla rather than a beater, that’s their problem. It would also be nice if you donated your new found millions and billions to build psychiatric hospitals and help get the psychiatrically ill a safe place to get treatment so they can pay it back and become productive and happy.
