Abstract
Having worked in salaried positions throughout my career, I have now chosen to be an independent practitioner. I have a faculty appointment and do a lot of writing, editing, and speaking, but I am not a geographic academic. I have an office in my house. Not only are no 2 days alike, but no 2 days are even similar. That's what I enjoy. So here's a day chosen at random: By 7:30 A.M., I am in downtown Chicago for a meeting of the Board of the Mental Health Association in Illinois. When the meeting ends at 8:30 A.M., I hustle over to meet with an attorney, as a psychiatric expert, to discuss a case involving an individual who has changed gender. I head back to my office at 10 A.M. and spend 2 or more hours reading, answering, and otherwise dealing with the day's e-mail. The digital subscriber line (DSL) will remain connected until midnight. I have to comment on draft contributions for Journal Watch Women's Health, a New England journal publication for which I am psychiatry writer/editor (summaries of journal articles are circulated among the specialist writer/editors for review). While on-line, I order a present for aPreview Only. This article cannot be rented because we do not currently have permission from the publisher.
