Issues at the interface of Mavis, community-based psychiatric services and the mentally normal

[Mitchy1nge]

I think that covers us all?

I actually don't know anything about cats. I'm basically thinking of rats and scaling it up.

I know they're obligate carnivores, but I also know they used to eat grass and vomit on my patio.

My Gladys is a fussy little minx who'd definitely turn her nose up at stir fry. She's a Purina girl.

James Wellbeloved: Fish

they will sometimes help themselves to other things but not stuff like this with ginger and star anise and plum and shit

(am giving up!)

I trust you made a valiant effort which is all that counts.

it went cold really quickly

how was lasagne? What are you having enpo?

The lasagne was lovely. DP makes a great bolognaise sauce with plenty of red wine in it. I'm stuffed.

Apparently, the veal mince has become pie and not burgers. And he forgot the salt. I am trying not to be disappointed.

I once ate a bolognese I thought was safe while on phenelzine. I think there was half a bottle of red wine in my bowl. That was an interesting evening

I bet you are a nice psychiatrist, better attitude than have come to expect - effort IS what counts.

I think I'm quite nice although I'm sure some of my patients think I 'm the devil incarnate

Isn't that a bit dispiriting?

Ah, veal pie ahoy.

would you welcome a system in which patients were invited to evaluate your professionalism (as happens to Some People in other parts of the world)?

is a bit unfair if they are just drug seeking, I would rate mine very critically if I asked for something reasonable and was refused

It was a bit dispiriting when I started out but not any more. I'm not always there to be liked. Sometimes I have to make hard decisions in the best interest of my patient.

nobody seems to know what is even meant by professionalism so is hilarious really

Patients do evaluate my performance. I went through that exercise organised by the trust earlier this year. The results were very interesting.

I would put something like 2/10 would not bang (if offered olanzapine)

or 10/10 have callous on clitoris from merely thinking about him (the wonderful short lived joy of reboxetine)

I wonder what my chances of getting modafinil are.

is it too early to go to bed?

am addicted to going to bed

Or phenelzine. Or both.

It seems a tad early but I suppose it depends what you plan to do in there.

Phenolzine much more likely than modafinil I would imagine.

Phenelzine, sorry for typo.

Ten points for anyone who guesses the vegetable DP had chosen to serve with hot filo-pastry-covered veal mince pie.
