A new insight on psych

Okay okay, lets let go of the fangirlish stuff and look into something more serious now. You just can't mix business into pleasure (but you can mix pleasure into business XD.

Aanyways! this week we've been to the Sentosa Hospital where they have people with psychiatric problems. on Monday, we've been just visiting the wards there, getting to know the people who work there and stuff. to be honest, i was quite apprehensive and nervous when entering the wards. one of the patients was yelling racist stuff, some were just talking to us, even though the things they talk were nonsense, some were just staring at us. i was HONESTLY a bit scared. probably because its a new environment to me and i have yet to learn to handle the patients.

and just now, in the afternoon, we had a demonstration session where we witnessed how our professor interviewed the patient. its not really like the usual history that we take from medical ward or anything. i think its kinda new and interesting to me. it took me to a completely different level of approach towards people and life.

it hit me, i was unconsciously being judgmental towards some people with psychiatric problems that i've met before. gosh, how shallow i was. how i let my emotional and my pride got over my rational thinking. im really thankful that i got to be in this psychiatric posting. it completely opened up how i think towards others.

what the case was about? its confidential~ *himitsu da yo~!*
(lol, i was just lazy to type actually XD)
but i really have to say, i really, really hate people who succumb to peer pressure resulting in them doing all the stupid stuff that would harm themselves in the end. whats so good about having fun without the picture of you standing strong and proud after defeating your enemies (okay, thats a bit of Bleach influence there XP). SO yeah, I really hate weak people that give in to inappropriate stuff just because others tell him to do so. You have to belief in yourself and do whats best for you yourself. be confident and say "NO". the guy who laughs last win, ne?

so yeah, all in all, psychiatry is an interesting subject. you assess people from the outer appearance into the deep dark secret they have in their minds. its not something that you learn only by reading (though you need a LOT of reading), its all about practice and experience. how to sharpen your communication skill so patient will pour those deep dark secret of theirs to you. build rapports and make them trust you. hum..omoshiroi!
