2. All of the above

3. Saying something snarky about my waitress who was standing right behind me

4. That earthy damp smell after a rainstorm

5. black criticism

Pass on this one, unless you‘d like to read about a cold, egotistical doctor who wants us to know about her life instead of the stories of those afflicted by the pain of mental illness. I finished it, but I wish I hadn‘t.

Please, no stereotypes.

Meh.

Would have liked to hear more about the patients than the doctor.

#currently on second spring break (didn‘t know it was a thing? Also not complaining). I‘m currently in my psych rotation and I work in an er. I‘m on break from psych and I don‘t work until Wednesday.. yet here I am reading about a psych er. 🤷🏼‍♀️

What better way to unwind after hours of studying for my nurse practitioner certification exam than to read a psychiatrist‘s memoir of her time spent in Bellevue‘s psych ER?

It's not a bad book, but I was hoping for less about the author's life and more about patient stories. Plus, I've got to get my "currently reading" under control! ? So much good stuff out there and so little time! ⌛️? #nonfiction #blameitonLitsy

Around sixty pages in and at this point, I'm giving it a "so-so." Moderately interesting, but it focuses more on the author's life rather than the circumstances that bring patients to the Bellevue psych ward. I suppose I was hoping to read about bizarre patient cases. But maybe that's still to come, so I'm not bailing yet. #nonfiction #SeasonsReadings 2016

Given the subject matter (working in a psych hospital ER), I thought this would be an appropriate pairing.

I post this reading plan for December prior to visiting the library or my bookshelves - which means I'll be adding to this as soon as I finish my coffee and climb the stairs. Planning to start today with Weekends at Bellevue. And if I actually leave my house (there are people out there 😱) I will start on audio the sixth Archer book in this series.

But wait...look! A shiny new book! Hmmm... #SeasonsReadings2016 #wanttoreadindec

I've worked 10 yrs in an inner city ER, 2 yrs in a county jail, and 10 yrs in a psychiatric ward. So this book about a psychiatric ER held no surprise for me. Interesting for most folks I'd bet though. 💊💉🏥🚑
