my psych rotation in a nut shell

had my psych exam last 2 days..that marked the end of my psychiatry rotation..and i have the answer to my earlier question..do i go down this puzzling path? a definite NO!hehe not that it has nothing to offer but im just saying that its not my cup of tea.it was really funny.everybody turned up smart,beautiful and important looking in their suits,short yet decent enough skirts and high heels.. while us Malaysian girls were in our assumed formal enough tops (the kind u dont need to iron),all colourful and flowery and to add to the 'festive-look'..we chose our flat colourful maryjane which made no sound when we walk.huh!we really have to consider shopping for suits and high heels..we'll be better err appropriately dress next exam.but of course ur attire wont change anything if u cant answer the questions.

Psych is very interesting and intriguing..i kind of learnt a lot about human beings as psyc ventures into the non-technical part of a person (read=vessels,neurone,organs (anything u can see and proof eccetra). and its freaky how many psychiatric traits u'll find in yourself or in people around u. though i said this, psych is very much medicine in a way that genetic plays a big enough role in almost all diagnosis.its just that not enough evidence have been found to proof a lot of hypothesis.

seeing the patients were the most amusing experiences...where else would u find someone talking passionately on their ability to heal others just by putting his hand on the sick's head..or talking to someone who was convinced that his nose is bent when it is perfectly fine.now i look at this unfortunate individuals differently...it makes me more tolerant if one day i encounter someone who's impossible to stand..he might have some personality disorder.that explains it...so i wont be mad just as easily.

for some reasons this rotation really drained us all mentally. i remembered Des remarked that he now slept for 12 hours which is double his normal sleep.Everybody just complained that we became so lazy,dormant and had no energy.I know we shouldnt complain when we have so much free hours at our disposal..but psych just has that effect on us.hmmm getting sleepy..guess i have to bid goodbye to u..and to Psychiatry..
