Introduction

It should come as no surprise to any intelligent reader that a psychiatrist is quite human and subject to death, disappointments, frustrations, and pleasures just like any other human. Like artists, philosophers, musicians, and the person chosen from the street, he may have a unique take on life's experiences which he would like to share. The purpose of this blog is to give expression to these thoughts and ideas. I hope others will find these expressions meaningful and will share their reactions with me. I'm looking forward to a non-patient dialogue with people who have interesting ideas and provocative thoughts. That is the purpose of this blog.
