Psychiatry – Day 7

I will say what does appeal to me about psychiatry is the lifestyle. I have never had stress levels this low during a rotation. I’m not sure if it translates to being an attending, but from what I know of the psych attendings I’ve had so far, it does. It has given me time to work on other projects and not be a shell of a human. Not sure if the work itself is what I want though. I love talking to patients and I think having the opportunity to walk along side a patient during particularly vulnerable moments is something really special to medicine and psychiatry especially.
