Call me crazy, but I felt like this story was perhaps a little too specific.

- bookofjoe 7y agoYou can't please everyone!
- hammock 7y agoBetter to stay in the dark about what the average American experience is like! (?)
- behringer 7y agoHaha reminds me of a story a psychiatrist once told about how he/she would generalize people's problems that happen to all sorts of patients and yet would routinely be accused of sharing a unique and deeply embarrassing story by their patients, who don't realize it but all face the same problems.
- mercora 7y agoif it happens to all or just almost all or even just some of the patients it would still be sharing a somewhat private story from all of them, no? Being accused of sharing this (not so) unique story tells me it was even told to somebody that knew both people. I think you should refrain from that in this profession...
- behringer 7y agoPsychiatrists have to tell these stories in order to train new psychiatrists. The only thing they cannot share is personally identifiable information. Sadly, so many people think they are struggling alone and their situation is completely unique, which is rarely ever the case.
- joshgel 7y agoCan confirm the thrust of this story. And I trained in the last 10 years in NYC. Modern healthcare is little different.
- chenning 7y agoI don't care so much about the story, it was the level of detail you doled out about your patient, where it was, what year, etc.
- bookofjoe 7y agoJuly 1974?! That was over 45 years ago. Those medical records were discarded forever long before the year 2000. What period of time would make you comfortable?
