So I wrote a book called Stuck Up, 100 Objects Inserted and Ingested in Places They Shouldn't Be.

And we have x-ray images that we owned and were able to get possession of and showed some of these things.

Yeah, and honestly, we didn't do any harm to patients.

Patients were all okay with sharing.

It's the idea, nobody's named.

It's the idea that laughter sometimes is the best medicine and to be able to laugh at ourselves is really important.

Obviously those patients weren't laughing at the time.

Of course.

But it's just the idea that, wow, this is kind of absurd.

And the way that people go about trying to pleasure themselves in some ways, it's interesting.

But I do think that I learned from my patients a lot.

And that's the other thing, just to go back to something you asked about, goodwill hunting.

Yeah.

What I really liked in there was that the provider, Sean, learned a ton from his patient about himself and he could apply these things to himself.

And that's something that happens in psychiatry is I am constantly learning from my patients.

One guy asked me once, he's like, do you ever get anything out of talking to me?

I'm like, of course I do.

So there's this idea that it's just about the patient.

I've really emphasized that with you, but I do learn a ton from my patients.

I understand worlds in ways I wouldn't before.
