3 weeks of placement at an Eating disorder unit was an eye-opening experience. All had their own cause of this mental illness... biological, psychological and social.
And I think that is what makes psychiatry hard, especially history taking because you had to encompass all that - not only the causes, but also the consequences.
A long enduring experience for me because my history taking skills is not too good but I have learnt a lot in this process.... and found out that psych is definitely not for me.

I love Medicine!
Just had the urge to post this....
Studying medicine has its ups and downs... Becoming a doctor without having have the best of memories worries me; without sounding too nerdy though, sometimes there are times, especially little things that when they come together make sense, which make you light up and say "I love Medicine!!!" What a timely post on Valentines day...
For me today, it is heart murmurs and ECG!!!
