Imaging sipping wine in Italy while "consulting" some crazy bitch in ny for her Xanax subscription. But I probably wouldn't do well if I want into that. I'm good at technical stuff but terrible at bullshitting. The lucrative crazies go for someone that sounds like Jeffrey eppstein or Donald trump or bernie madoff.

Date: January 10th, 2026 10:32 PM Author: Jared Baumeister It's exactly like that. They have to use HIPAA compliant technology but otherwise they rarely have to interact with patients. Once in a while they have to do in person meetings to take drug samples or measure someone's vitals before putting them on a new drugs but that's it (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5820607&forum_id=2Elisa#49579982) |

Date: January 10th, 2026 10:35 PM Author: Jared Baumeister It's really sad how med students get pressured out of it and wind up doing IM.

|
Date: January 10th, 2026 10:35 PM Author: Nintendo 1488 You missed the part where they have to interact with people.
Lawyers can get away with operating entirely via text, with maybe a few simple phone calls with no video per week.

Date: January 10th, 2026 10:41 PM Author: Jared Baumeister PS the state laws are all rigged so that certain drugs require you to meet with the prescriber every 90 days to get refills. Psychiatrists can also bill at higher rates depending on whether you want drugs or not. So whatever they bill for visits, they're guaranteed to 4x that every year for every patient who wants drugs. The states make the math super easy like that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5820607&forum_id=2Elisa#49580005) |

Date: January 11th, 2026 10:28 AM Author: '"'"''"'"'''"''" Psychiatric is middle of the pack according to my doctor ex. I think dermatology and plastic surgery are the most competitive?
The main issue keeping psychiatry from being the most difficult is that you're dealing with literal crazies who dump their emotions onto you all day. It's really hard to keep yourself emotionally detached from the crazies you deal with. You're not sticking fingers up people's asses, but instead you're talking to an endless stream of emotionally volatile people who have attempted suicide several times.
Also, there's the stigma with mental health. |
