I got volunteered for a project that I don't want to do at work, and my supervisor seems to want to take over my patients. So kind of an irritating day. I wish I had become an MD instead of an NP, because then I would have a little more say in what I do. Sometimes it feels like I have to do all the stuff that everybody else doesn't want to do. I wish I could set some boundaries or say no to this stuff, but unfortunately that isn't really an option. I have to do as I'm told.

One thing that was interesting today though was one of the psychiatrists at work told me that 1 out 8 people with bipolar disorder will die from it. I imagine that includes sui and accidents during risky behavior while manic. But that still seems pretty high to me. I don't know where he got that stat.
