Psyk.
So now I’ve been in the gerontopsychiatric team that bicycles around the city to diverse apartments and care homes to meet the elderly psychiatric patients who are well enough to be “out in society”. It’s been okay. Even the patients who are a little nuts (not a technical expression) are sane enough to talk to [...]

My motivation and enthusiasm for school at this point is in a downward spiral. Here is the problem:
Here are the course goals for “sygdomslære” where we learn about different diseases.
Mål:
At den studerende opnår forståelse for diagnosticering, behandling og pleje af patienter med somatiske og psykiske sygdomme.
At den studerende opnår teoretisk viden om de hyppigst forekommende [...]
Frustration!
I’m vexed at the moment. I’ve been sewing half the day and my back hurts. Or rather, I’ve been working on muslins (ie, trying to fit patterns to myself on scrap fabric) so I’ve been ENDLESSLY tracing the patterns over onto tissue paper and then cutting them out in the most truly heinous fabric you [...]

Ouch.
I’ve had a week off to write an exam that’s due on Monday December 4. I’m maybe halfway done, if you look at it with mild and understanding eyes. Since, oh, Saturday night I’ve been fighting with a stomach flu that has more or less just kicked my ass.
I mean, I don’t think there are [...]
It’s not brain surgery. Wait…
Yes it is! I got to see a craniotomy. It was so cool.
The patient had a tumor pressing on their pituitary gland (hypofysen in Danish), but apparently it was sitting a little bit weird. So instead of going through the nose, which they usually do for pituitary tumors, they went through the temple and opened [...]
Blood and guts
Well, how is life going here? It’s going okay. I am in praktik now up in Rigshospitalet in the “creepy ward” where an infamous movie has taken place. Let’s just say it like that.

Yesterday was the first time I took a temp job at a hospital. All the other times I’ve either been in home care or a care-home. It was at a geriatric ward at Glostrup Hospital. They were really nice to me, and it went fine.
Glostrup is sort of far away but not that far away. [...]
