this is the life.

so, i worked from about 7 until 9:15 this morning. and i don't have anything else to do until 1. i'm supposed to be using this time to "study"... hmm. i'll think about it. i have been loaned a large text that i should undoubtedly be reading. but ick.

"the dude" dictates on friday mornings, so i'll have this time free every friday. it's nice to have something to look forward to.

i saw a few kids on my own today. i got some nice feedback from "the dude," about things i asked wrong and things i should've asked but didn't think of at all.

he went on a small rampage about mental health workers being afraid to discuss mental health issues, such as psychosis. he suggests it's because the "normal" population lives closer to the edge of psychotic than they want you to know. probably true.

If you saw the kids on your own, how did he know what you asked and didn't ask? Did you take a tape recorder in with you or do you have to write down word for word what you ask each patient?

no goofy... the point of me seeing them is so that he doesn't have to. well, and that learning thing i'm supposed to be doing. the medical student's job is to go see the patient, and then write up a progress note, and then give report to the doctor. so, basically i recount my encounter with the patient to the doctor and he makes suggestions of what i should've done differently. make sense?

oh goodness, the "quick hits" thing is a little more than i can answer in the comments section... for me to teach you how would need to be a step-by-step sort of thing, i think. let me know when you're available; i'll see if i can pencil you in... ;-)
