Anyone else Interested in Psychiatry?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
not sure what this is asking. I think people who want their limbs removed should be allowed to have a physician do it for them since it can be done more accurately and safely in a hospital by a trained professional.

Sex change operations are now accepted, why not limb removal?

They're forced to get a limb removed to reduced as a drastic measure to reduce their susceptability to Heart Disease and Diabetes related death.

I see what you are saying. I am a big fan of diet and exercise. I would encourage my patients to prescribe to an exercise regimen and warn of the risks of a sedentary lifestyle.

Sigh I would try to improvise a challenge invention here to show cognitive dissonance. But I think I'll let it pass for the night.

I'm quite curious about what kind of mental gymastics you have to be doing to make this statement congruent to everything else you have spouted.

It is all congruent. How is supporting living a healthy lifestyle inconsistent with anything I have said about psychiatry? Explain please
 
Neurology does not use immoral force like psychiatry. Furthermore, there actually are cases of Parkinson's that have an unequivocal cause. Nothing like this is known for any mental disorder.

Parkinson's is a disease, but the patients annoying struggle to maintain independence is not a disease.

this.
 
I did a search and found a few old threads that laughed at the thought of shadowing a psychiatrist. I am curious because I just got the okay from a psychiatrist in DC to begin shadowing her any day now. She also has several psychologists working for her in her practice and said I could rotate with them as well.

My question is it really that rare for such an opportunity? She did not seem to be worried about it in fact I asked for the summer and she said just start now. But I see mention on here of about the ethical and privacy issues involved. Would it not be the same as most other specialty shadowing? (Like HIPAA training etc.)
I mean after all some people are just as concerned of privacy with their fever and cold as their mental states.

Edit: Sorry will start new thread did not mean to put it here!
