Today David and I met with Dr. MW for her treatment team, in which patients would come in and tell her how they're doing and she, in turn, can ask them what she can do for them. Some of the patients were patients that David had admitted, so he was interested to see if there was any improvement. The first one, MG, had come to Admissions on suicidal ideations (and he was exaggerating his tremors so he'd get some benzos), but he's doing better now. Another guy, PS, was totally delusional last week, and he's just the same today. When he saw me, he asked if I was Asian and then started talking about the Red Army and "high tech samarais." It was very hard not to laugh during his rambles b/c he also believes he can communicate with extraterrestrials. As soon as he left, Dr. MW recommended doubling his current medication, LOL, since the current dose is obviously doing nothing to control his mania. It was sad because in most of these cases, the patients were clearly "damaged" with no chance of recovery. What can we do with them then?
On a good note...tomorrow we're taking the patients to the State Fair!
