In 15 Years Will A Psychiatrist Be A Good Job?


I am interested in becoming a pediatric psychiatrist, but seeing that I am still in high school, and I am aware of the extensive schooling – I just want to know in 15 years, will it be worth it? I know NO one knows for sure, but if there is a graph or chart somewhere perhaps that could help?
I am not only doing it for the money, but I do find it interesting. But who could complain about the pay right, haha.
So will the pay still be good/ or will it spiral down in such a long time?
Also, I don’t want to be a private doctor, I want to work in like a big building/ hospital because, I mean, no matter where I am I will still need to do my job and location shouldn’t alter the quality of my job, and with that being said: isn’t it true that physicians working in large buildings that are “well known” make more money than a private one?
Also, how would I actually GET the job of becoming a psychiatrist at such a place? Like literally, how do I start my psychiatric career in a large hospital or some place, I have no place. I’m sure there aren’t “help wanted” signs in the windows, so how?

Can My New Psychiatrist Get All Of My Old Records?


I know they say you have to sign a consent before they could obtain your old records but I’ve heard differently, if he is an affiliate of a hospital does he then have permission to my old records?

I Have Kaiser And Received A Prescription For Add Medication From A Separate Doctor, I Need Kaiser To Cover It?


This question is much simpler and not as intimidating as the length of the description would lead you to think…
I actually have Attention Deficit Disorder and was diagnosed about 1 month ago. I was referred by a friend of mine to a VERY reputable and well-respected psychiatrist who was in my area and after 2 consulting sessions he diagnosed me and wrote me a prescription for Vyvanse. I made a mistake though because my insurance is with Kaiser and I would need a Kaiser doctor to write my prescription so my insurance can cover the medication. Now I have a prescription from a separate doctor NOT affiliated with Kaiser and this prescription may cost up to $500 since my Kaiser insurance can’t cover it.
Now, is there anyway I can or I should notify my Kaiser doctor of this problem? I have paid good money to the non-Kaiser doctor (Around $700) and now that I have a prescription it will not be covered by my insurance!!
PLEASE HELP! THIS IS A HUGE LOSS FOR ME! ANY THOUGHTS ARE WELCOMED.

Can Someone Translate This Letter Into Russian For Russian Class (best Answer Gets 10 Points)?


I was born in the US but I speak Russian at home and I have Russian native speaker class in my school that’s counted as foreign language. For class, I have to write a story and I’m writing a story about a girl who wants to move out on her 18th birthday through the balcony (they live on the 1st floor) in the middle of the night without notifying her parents leaving a letter on her bed stating she’s not kidnapped so there will be no police investigation and not to contact her again. I need the letter translated into Russian. Please capitalize the letters I capitalized. Thanks. You can type in Russian here if you want.

Dear Ivanov family
I write this letter to inform you I’m not kidnapped and that ALL family members, I repeat, ALL family members, including but not limited to, spouses of relatives, nieces and nephews and any future relatives including BUT NOT LIMITED TO children and grandchildren may not contact me IN ANY WAY AT ALL TIMES, ALL my affiliates IN ANY WAY AT ALL TIMES including BUT NOT LIMITED TO those who work for me, my doctor, my new family including BUT NOT LIMITED TO my adoptive parents and family, spouse/partners, spouse’s/partner’s family, future children, future grandchildren and so on and any person/institution I have been attending IN ANY WAY AT ALL TIMES (including BUT NOT LIMITED TO a school, a psychiatrist or a doctor) for the purpose of obtaining information about me including BUT NOT LIMITED TO whether I continue to attend. Also, do not contact me through 3rd parties, (including BUT NOT LIMITED TO asking someone to contact me for ANY reason. Do not call ANYONE (including BUT NOT LIMITED TO my friends and new family) for the purpose of asking about me. ANYONE and EVERYONE who is not allowed to contact me and is aware they are not allowed to contact me who contacts me at ANY TIME in ANY WAY/FORM, even once will have an order of protection (such as a restraining order or a no contact order) placed against them. I will also go to the police and you will be charged with harassment and will go to jail. Do mot argue over my leaving such as using phrases like “she left because you did this” or “if you have not done that she would not have left because I would have left one way or the other. Please remove me from ALL your wills, estates and insurance. I am being adult adopted. That is like child adoption except my new parents are not my legal guardians and can’t control me. Instead, I loose my legal connections to my old “family” and create new legal connections to a new family. So if I die without a will, all of my stuff/belongings will go to my adoptive parents/family. I also get a new birth certificate.

Is It Legal To Refuse Medical Treatment For Mental Health?


i have been seeing my psychiatrist for three years now, since i was diagnosed with bipolar. a couple of months ago i received a letter stating she will not see me due to me not being compliant with treatment. when i called to ask what it was about, she said she spoke with Margret (the person in charge of billing) (i owe 170.00) and the rest of the staff and they came to the conclusion they weren’t going to see me anymore. that means i cant see ANY DOCTOR in that office. I have been trying really hard to find another doctor with my insurance thats close to home. the ONE doctor i did find, will not see me because she is not affiliated with any hospitals and since i have been hospitalized a few times in the past she said no. another one is not taking new patients. i spoke with my current doctor and asked if she could continue filling my meds until i found someone. she said as long as i got my labs done she would do that. well i got my labs done and i tryed to get my medicine filled and she is refusing to do so. i am on lithium 600mg, klonapin, when needed, trazadone at night and seraquel 150 mg. i am out of the klonapin and lithium currently. she advised me to go to my PC which i know he will not fill meds he didn’t prescribe. I dont know what to do. my husband just lost his job, no insurance, i am worried about just stopping my meds. i just took my last dose last night. is it against the law to refuse care when the patient is on medicine and hasn’t found a replacement? and is on meds that are dangerous to just stop? i wasn’t even advised to wean myself off or anything. please help, i am desperate.
