Today was possibly the best and most exciting day of my life. I worked early this morning from 6- 8 in the emergency room. It was a slow two hours mostly because I was dying to start my internship. I spent my two hours with Paul in the emergency room; he was doing well today. I beat him in monopoly, go me! (I think he let me win). After my two hours were up, I went to a hospital that was about a forty-five minute drive from where I was. I had orientation from 10 - 3. That was really boring; we had to go over procedures, rules, and information regarding the hospital... nothing really new to me. After that, I met my resident and attending doctors, and from there I started my clinical. As an emergency doctor, you must be able to cover each branch of medicine. Guess where I started today? No, not OB-GYN...I'm not that lucky. I started in psych. I met the attending psychiatrist Dr. Gao. So today, with the aid of Dr.Gao, I saw all the psych consults. Holy Shit. I don't think I've seen as many people before for psych. The hospital, having the largest psychiatric unit in the area, consults over 75 people a day. Dr.Gao and I had a nice chat about psychiatry and he is going to bring me to unit tomorrow. I'm going to meet, interview, and assess a Multiple Personality Disorder (also known as Dissociative Identity Disorder) patient tomorrow, I'm excited.
Right now, it's 12:05... And I'm heading over to Caleigh's apartment for the night. I love her bed, it’s so comfortable... but she is the one who makes it very comfortable, if you know what I mean.
