Psychiatry – Day 14

This was the longest day I spent in the hospital since starting in psych. It was a bit of a shock compared to what I had gotten used to, but nothing crazy. If anything it’s what probably more of what I expected. I feel like I’m learning a bit more, but also I feel like there’s more pressure that I am not prepared for. I have been growing in my confidence in talking with patients and management of some of the more “bread-and-butter” diagnoses, but as soon as they deviate from a classic clinical picture I sometimes get stumped. We’re getting there though. I think it’s going to be a good week.
