Emergency&Trauma Department (ETD) is like climbing hills. 6 months in ETD felt so short, everyday was exciting..I crave for more and more. Even thinking about it now gives me energy..it doesn't necessarily make me happy but it gives me energy..like climbing a hill. So much fun with great company but even if I'm doing it alone, I am still full of energy. Once I reach the top, the satisfaction alone is worth it! You have to be focused and determined. When you have safely worked out one patient, you can move on to the next patient with minimal baggage.
Psychiatry is like going on a trail. You pick up clues as you go along...and perform neccessary tasks. It's more of enjoying the journey and making differences at each pit stop than what's awaiting at the end of the journey. You need patience and perseverance. You always re-evaluate your decisions based on patient outcome and response.
I also love to go on trails...but never-ending trails are exhausting and I just don't have the patience. Or can it be trained??
I love climbing hills more..I love firguring out how to reach the top..I love finally reaching the destination but don't know if I have the strength. Or can it be built? would love to believe it can.
