Psych - A conclusion

I have finished my psychiatry rotation. I received excellent consultant and patient interview marks - though I am unsure about how I fared in the viva or the final exam. All in all it was a fantastic experience and I thought it was well run and gave me a pretty good peak into the world of mental illness. I enjoyed the luxury of being able to hypothesize/formulate how a person got to where they were in life. As I have eluded to previously, I definitely see how the skills I have learned will help me with patients from any background. I would like to do a psych term as a registrar in the future, but I doubt I will have the time...ohh well. Onward with my general Practice rotation..where I actually get to touch patients!
