We continue with the interview (actually 2) the long-lost interview, with Dr. Todd Jamrose, Psychiatrist extraordinaire, D & D Player and BlueJackets Hockey Fan. We hit on clinical operations and the spider sense of physicians caring for patients. If they look sick they are sick. If they don’t look sick but your gut is saying that they are; they are.

We get into the STAR*D study and talk about SSRIs and compliance and actually telling your patients about what you are prescribing for them. Adherence versus compliance is a distinction that all physicians should fully understand. It takes time, trust and patience to develop that with your patients.

So hopefully as you listen you pick up some pearls and perhaps learn a little more about why you might want to pick psychiatry as a specialty if you happen to be a medical student. There is a lot medicine in psychiatry, especially when you start dealing with the anti-psychotics. Modern psychiatry, well-practiced, saves a lot of live and restores quality of life to people who suffer desperately with disordered or confused thoughts and feelings.

Producers note: I am editing this just 5 days after finding the body of a friend and fellow soldier that decided to end his life. I’ll have more to say about this but not in this episode. Suicide is a terrible thing and I beg of you, if you are contemplating it, understand that you will leave more sadness than you can imagine. It is never neat. It is never clean. You can’t solve your problems by killing yourself; you’ll just break the hearts of those around you who will spend the rest of their lives wondering, why you didn’t reach out and allow them to be a friend.

The National Suicide Prevention Hotline is 1-800-273-8255

Before you make a decision that is permanent at least take the time to make a call. You are worth it and the people who love you will be forever grateful.

Also, I decided to break tradition and add a vocal to intro and outro. I encourage you to check out Artlist.io There is an incredible collection of great music there and the artists need your support.
