I really am enjoying my psych knowledge at the moment. The problem is, I'm not sure I will enjoy psych patients. I had a patient the other day, who was rude, abusive, and generally very unpleasant. I'm pretty sure there was a solid underlying psychiatric illness, but I just can't shake the feeling that somehow I've done something wrong by not having empathy for that person. I was annoyed.
A lot of people in my family are crazy. Diagnose-abley crazy. I have a lot of time for them, and I think I can see where they are coming from a lot better than others in my family who are not so gifted. Why then, am I not feeling it at the moment for crazy patients?
I guess we shall see.
