About

In White Ink is a collection of commentaries and stories about human behavior. Some of them are related to psychiatry and medicine; others take place in non-clinical settings. These narratives often do not appear in textbooks or medical charts. It’s as if these stories are written in white ink.

In White Ink offers insights into the behaviors of people and systems. These insights can help us learn more about the world, other people, and ourselves.

(As noted in the disclaimer, all stories told in this site are works of fiction, unless otherwise noted. Some stories may be based on true events, though details will have been significantly altered to protect the privacy of all involved.)


Maria Yang, MD, enjoys reading and writing, likes to eat cookies, works as a psychiatrist, and can recite the alphabet backwards with ease. She lives with her husband in Seattle.
