Ooooh, Baby I Love You!

“When I read the letter you sent me
It made me mad mad mad
When I read the news that it brought me
It made me sad sad sad
But I still love you so
And I can’t let you go
I love you
Ooh baby, I love you”

- Lyrics to “Dire Maker” by Led Zeppelin

Well that was easy

I am home, post-call from a day of psychiatry consultations at the hospital. I’m convinced yet again that I have the absolutely coolest job in the world. I get paid to talk to people, ask them strange questions, and make observations and recommendations in an attempt to help them (and on the consult service, to help their primary docs).

I have a million things to do before hitting the sack, so that’s all you get for now.

Enjoy the photo with this post. It’s an “Easy” button that lives in the psych on-call room. When you press it, it says, “that was easy!” I have no idea what the purpose of it is or who put it there. But I intermittently press it throughout the day when I’m on call, and it makes me feel incredibly happy. I guess that is the point of it.

    How many of the people you’re trying to help do NOT want your help?  That is to say, they are involuntary admissions to your hospital?  When referring to ANY person, but particularly your involuntary  clients, I desperately hope this is not “easy”.  It shouldn’t be.

      It’s never easy. But when you love your work, it does make it easier.

    It’s easy to be easy when you’re easy!

    I used to have an easy button in my old office. I loved hitting it. since most of the stuff I did was not easy (or didn’t seem to be at the time), it was fun to hit it after big stuff and little stuff. Thank you “Staples”!
