First up: do you want to eat me? Please email scribblebank@gmail-com if so…
~95 kg this morning
But my question is: how do you sleep (without having told explicitly those who want to eat you that you don’t want to be eaten, and that your going to sleep does not demonstrate peace and thereby consent in any way to being eaten by anyone while you sleep) ?
I can quite understand wanting to copy and paste this – together with your email and some quantity indicator (eg “recently less an appendix”) for your own use elsewhere – that’s quite alright by me. It’s a dog eat dog world out there, staySafe!
And now for something completely different:
I was reminded recently of a conversation with a community psychiatrist (who is supposed to be an expert on the mind) on the relative effects of monthly injections Vs daily pills – they were proposing switching to the injection…
They said something like “the effect of the injection would actually be lower, since you’re having 400mg every month, Vs 15mg every day” – and then after a pause of a few seconds “it’s obvious” and quickly moved on.
They later wrote that “significant thought disorder” was evident, which I think they based on my not being convinced by their explanation there – an explanation that lacked any mention of what proportion is actually absorbed when taken orally Vs by depot injection.
So, there just wasn’t enough information to reach the conclusion the psychiatrist quickly declared obvious – I thought it was obvious one shouldn’t assume it to be 100% absorption and availability, but didn’t put this into words before they’d moved on…
They should have known that they were presenting an over simplification as: obvious correct reasoning. I’d say there was a 3 second pause – waiting for me to say “ok yes, you’re right as usual, I’ll agree to your recommendation…”
But no, “it’s obvious” from the psychiatrist, and then “formal thought disorder” in their write up – twice, for good measure.
Pump up the diagnosis!
