PSYCH!

...is exactly where I worked a lot today. It's weird to think sometimes, while working at the hospital and being around all these foreign and crazy disease states, it makes me feel incredibly blessed to be "normal." Some of the states I've seen this week are:

Depression
Schizophrenia
Bipolar disorder
Eating disorders
Suicidal ideations
Panic disorders
PTSD
Phobias (today I saw aquaphobia - fear of water!)
Obsessive compulsive disorders
...and many, many more!

Now, most of the patients in this area are screens, but it's important to see if they have any intake issues while they're at the hospital. Again, it's just a whole different patient population.

Tomorrow is finally Friday.
