Franks Psychiatry 2 #16: token economy
Laura🌻 said:

Frank,
I like that title: TOKEN ECONOMY

Smoked for a year many, many, many moons ago just to be cool, to be social, to fit in with the crowd, etc...in other words, just being stupid!...(long story why I smoked only for one year)...
Now I have to deal with secondhand smoking! C’est la vie!

Smoking was the norm back in those days. I gave up smoking 35 years, 4 months, 1week 1 day ago, not that I am counting of course.

Yes, indeed Frank!
Important facts to know.
They’re teaching you well!
I learned that tidbit in a Lamaze class!

Franks Psychiatry 2 #15: character formation
Laura🌻 said:

...and this is how it goes...

Alcohol...

Let’s enjoy the moment...
Let’s celebrate...
Let’s have a drink!

I feel the pain...
I need to anesthetize...
I need a drink!

...and now the nightmares
are forever with him!
(...this is the fact for one of my family member...unfortunately...)

Thank you for sharing snippets of your younger self, Frank!

Franks Psychiatry 2 #14: pecking order
Laura🌻 said:

Frank,
I enjoyed reading your write, but I wouldn’t want to be in there!
Many years ago, I witnessed such a
seating arrangement at a convent...minus the MALES, of course! Good thing I was just visiting!

Franks Psychiatry 2 #12: for a long time
Laura🌻 said:

A fine write, Frank!
I’m wondering what your
first impression was
and what did you think about when you first met the ā€œNurse-In-Chargeā€?

Frank,
I agree with Gold’s comment!
Just curious though...
What color would you have preferred?

I am sure that you were not nondescript in the way you dealt with the patients.

Franks Psychiatry Pt 1 #10: card collector
Laura🌻 said:

Frank,
A great write! Do you still have those cards?
It reminds me of my Cracker Jack boxes of caramel flavored popcorn. Couldn’t wait to get to surprise in the box! My son’s obsession was collecting baseball cards! Fond memories!

Franks Psychiatry 1, #6: conditions of employment
Nicholas Browning said:

I think I\'m just old enough to see where you\'re coming from. People younger than me won\'t have the privilege of knowing about the way things wen\'t down back then, I fear. Alas, they will be faced with robots stealing their jobs! Sweet revenge, muahaha. Anyways, nice piece of work sir. Much truth indeed.
