today - lets see...i can't even remember what i did yesterday or the day before. today i saw homeless guy pretty depressed he didn't want to eat because he wanted to starve himself to death. It lulled - then i had a pt in the ER sweet old man, he hears voice from cholos in his head that critique conversation and make jokes. like having the peanut gallery in your head. I gave a presentation about MELAS - crazy disorder. it went suprisingly well. passed my boards. hmm....i was so hot during my presenation my cheeks were on fire.
ON some down time one of the pts called me over, a young good lucking kid, only 21, who explained that we're all angels, and that he is the chosen angel. He had a revelation while on shrooms and is now ready to save the world. its sad cuz he's so convinced of all this he doesn't want meds. i don't know if they''ll let him out. and he's so "rational."
After that I calmed down a panic stricken, disorganized Armenian man. I was proud of myself, even though the pt was so agitated, i remained calm, and I kept the pt calm. by the time i was finished with the interview and the physical we'd shared a few laughs, and he trusted me. by the time we were all done he just passed out on his bed.
i find it incredibly easy to talk these people. and i actually somewhat enjoy it. i don't know. we'll see.
