My Psychiatric Evaluation with Physician on Fire

June 30, 2016 by Mr. 1500 Days 8 Comments

The Physician on Fire (PoF) participated in my 10 Questions feature a couple weeks ago. HIs answers were pretty great, so go read them if you haven’t already.

The PoF then asked me if I’d be willing to answer some of his questions. “Sure!” I enthusiastically replied , not knowing what I was getting myself into.

The interview started off fairly normal. The doctor asked me routine questions about money and financial independence. Then he hit me up with this one:

What do you see here*?

Damned if I know. It kind of looks like the front of my shirt after I’ve eaten dinner and spilled my food or beverage all over myself (a common occurrence).

The questions returned to normal for a while. PoF asked me about travel and food. Easy; warm beaches and cold beer! Then, it got weird again:

What was your relationship with your mother like**?

And this one:

Tell me about a recent dream***.

And then the interview went off the deep end. PoF is obviously a fan of the movie Airplane:

Do you like movies about gladiators****?

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison*****?

PoF, I thought you were an anesthesiologist, not a Freudian psychotherapist obsessed with Airplane. I’m confused.

In any case, please read the entire therapy session interview over at Physician on Fire.

 

 

*He didn’t really ask me this.

**He didn’t ask me this either.

***Nope.

****I made this up too. For the record, I don’t enjoy gladiator movies.

*****More lies. And I have never been in a Turkish prison.

    No question – the rorschach image there is clearly a chihuahua that is angered by the reflection of itself in a puddle that it is standing on.

    How did I do? =)

      Whoah Mrs. PoP, that is clearly a sign of suppressed deviant tendencies. Have you ever fantasized about setting stuff on fire?

    Awww, I was really hoping those questions were true. 😉 You lured me in again, Mr. 1500! I do love PoF too, so I’ll be sure to check it out. 🙂

    So glad you could stop by! Oh, and about that, um… thing. I may be a doctor, but I’m no urologist. I’ve made you a referral to a subspecialist who specializes in such devices. She should be able to help you out, although you may have to give up some of the items in your wish list; lasers are a no-go, gps may be a possibility.

    Best of luck!

    It’s a bat.

    My most recent vivid dream involved President Obama trying to convince my girlfriend that she should marry me. I told her when I woke up* and she said she would take it under advisement.

    100% normal.

    * Yes, I dream about her even when I fall asleep next to her.

    I nearly spat my Ben and Jerry’s ice cream on my keyboard, Mr. 1500. Thanks for the laughs.

    The image above looks like a moth to me, for the record. I hate moths.

    Funniest thing about the Rorschach test is the deep divide it causes in psychology. It’s basically a really poor method of getting someone to talk. There are many better ways for psychologists to work with patients, but there’s just a lot of old psychiatrists and psychologists who learned it and still use it.
