Sure am. At the moment I am doing neuroanatomy which is a REAL hard course...I am also doing a bunch of other studies...I have 4 years before I can specialise.A lot of shrinks seem uncaring because they keep a clear line between patient and doctor. That's why some appear they don't care. They do this to protect themselves from vicarious trauma. I disagree with this. I wish to full empathise with my patient, and be as warm as possible with him/her. Ofcourse my behaviour will be within the ethics of medical practice but, I will always be very warm, caring, and empathising. I know what hell the patients go through.
Cheers!
Ace
