Four months nearly since my last update. This blog is being pushed to the background of my life for things that are far more important but my link to it can not be severed. Its here that I made friends with some of the most interesting people in the online community and it is here that I did a lot of work with great enthusiastic people who share lots of my interests.
When I last wrote in this blog, I had just finished four enduring months as a surgical intern. Straight after that, I joined the psychiatry team at the Royal Bolton. It immediately struck a cord and I enjoyed it a great deal. A colleague once said: people who join psychiatry fall into one of three types; Neurotics who go into psyche because they want to understand themselves and seek enlightenment about their life experiences and bla bla (the rest of it), Lazy Bastards who think psychiatry is a very laid back branch of medicine where you actually get to have a life outside the hospital, and those who love psychiatry FOR psychiatry. I guess there is a bit of all three types in me. One experience in particular will forever stick in my mind.
As a psychiatrist, you learn the skill of connecting with people and putting yourself in their shoe. You understand their feelings and what the world must look like to them. You live the experiences of your patient and you structure the world according to their rules. You merge with them into one. Then, as if by a super zooming out lenses, you detach yourself from that world. You put your patient and everything associated with them in the analysis box and you subject the package to careful studying, structure its chaos, and fit it into one of the pre-defined diagnoses of the ICD-10. At this stage, you celebrate your triumph on the human mind, as everything after is pretty much standard text book afterward.
