Why do People
?
The most appropriate answer to that question is probably the reply given by President Clinton when asked why he did what he did with “that woman.” “Because I could,” he replied to a probing reporter. I started posting almost 4 years ago because I could, and never really expected that many people would take interest in what I write. I really just needed a place to vent and explore and express my ideas from time to time. Other than my work, I have shown more commitment to this journal than any other project I’ve undertaken. My writing style is intentionally original and at times incorporates controversial ideas which on occasion may evoke emotional response from a commenter. I know my perspective on life is unique, mainly because of who I am and what I do for a living. When I feel passionately about something I will fight with everything I have to win the cause. Most people I associate with either love me or misunderstand me or may be in transition. Read more

Sigmund Freud was named the Father of Psychoanalysis. . .
He coined a term known as transference and its counterpart. This principle of thought and behavior is common to the psycho dynamics of basic human relationships and encounters and can be either a positive or a negative phenomenon. Transference and counter-transference have both diagnostic and therapeutic significance in certain forms of psychotherapy. Read more

My cat has lost her mind . . .
and I have no training in feline psychology. She’s 3 years old now. What’s that in human years, 16? Erroneously I thought I could keep her locked indoors and avoid having her fixed. Not! As a kitten she once ventured outside and got lost for a couple of hours. A neighbor returned her and for the next couple of years she didn’t try that again. The first time she went into heat I had no idea what the heck was happening. She also had worms at the time, so I thought her behavioral changes had something to do with that. The injection at the vet cleared up the worms and he told me not to worry about the estrace cycle. Having her spayed could take care of the problem. I procrastinated. No, I just didn’t do it.

Cut and Run?

This has been one of the weirdest weeks in my life. . .
as far as the thoughts and feelings I have experienced. The predominant feeling has probably been fear and I know that if there were no fear at this time I would truly be out of my mind. The thought has dawned upon me that it isn’t too late to cut and run. I could just tell every patient that I prescribe a pain medication to that I can’t treat them anymore. I would still maintain over 80% of my practice. I could walk in to my hearing on August 20th and state to my accusers that the problem is solved, goodbye, hope I never see you again. No hard feelings, right? That could be the beginning of the end of my nightmare. I could then try and slip back into anonymity, even though there would still be many who would see me as that bad doctor from the smear attack who did all of those terrible things that time. At least my livelihood would be protected. Read more
