psyche out

im in a new rotation. i'll be serving in psychiatry for 1 month. for my first two weeks, i'll be in the national center for mental health in mandaluyong. it's pretty scary being there for the first time. it seems to me that anybody not in white uniform is a psycho. i was assigned in the pediatric pavilion named zonta- shangrila. zonta is the pavilion for girls and shagrila for boys. i'll be working only in shangrila though together with my partner. yesterday, i was assigned in the out patient department and i got to examine a lot of patients with "undifferentiated schizophrenia." and i also got to do a complete physical exam in a patient who was for admission. scary. really. physical exam for a mentally challenged person is different. i have to work behind my patient for security purposes- to avoid being spitted/kicked/punched. today, i'll be on my first duty. i may be assigned in the ER or the ACIS (dont ask me what it stands for. i dont know either. what i know is that those patients who were previously seen in the ER and are for admission are placed there first). i just wish my partner and i will have the same post. and hopefully go home alive tomorrow. hehe
