My Three Shrinks Podcast 7: Fireside Chat

Posted by Roy at 12:13 AM

[Previous] . . . [7] . . . [Next] . . . [All]

Blame Roy on the delay in getting this podcast out. We strive to get

these out on Sundays, but life just gets in the way sometimes. We

recorded this on Sunday, Jan 21, in front of Dinah's fireside studio,

when we had our first snow of the season (not even an inch). Go to the

bottom of these Show Notes for a picture of us in front of the fire

(the crackles and pops you hear in the audio are from the fire).

Roy (our podcast producer) has added a new "feature" where the music

which is played as we transition from one carefully planned subject to

the next will change from week to week. Feel free to figure out where

each week's song snippet comes from. The first one to figure it out

will receive the dubious distinction of a link to their blog or site

in the following week's Show Notes. (Extra points if you can find some

connection between the song and a topic from the podcast.)

January 24, 2007:

Topics include:

* Dinah's post on the "Well-Worried Well" provokes dissension

amongst the Shrink Rappers. Are folks who go to high-end hospital

units, such as The Retreat at Sheppard Pratt, just the worried

well, or are they "rich people with mental illness"?

* Paying for Psychotherapy: "That's the problem with reimbursement

for psychotherapy. How do you decide what is and isn't valid

psychotherapy?"

* BusinessWeek, 1/29/07: "Held Hostage by Health Care", by Michelle

Conlin. Article about people who stay in jobs they hate due to

fear of losing their health insurance coverage.

* Movie: Idiocracy [IMDB link] from Roy's post of YouTube video,

Hospital of the Future.

* National health care system.
