TSH: No ECTs yet

This morning David and I were assigned to sit in on a treatment team led by Dr. Dee. We heard that Dr. Dee had been in retirement for a while until TSH made him an offer to work that he couldn't refuse ($$$), so now he sees a few patients a week for treatment. He's a little old guy who lets his social worker, nurse, and psychologist run the treatment team; David and I both agreed that the dynamic of this team was more bizarre than most (Dr. R runs her treatment team like a ship). One of the patients was a man that Sital had admitted during our first week here. Back then he was delusional and hearing voices, but now he's happier than we've ever seen him and is looking forward to drug rehab. Talk about a total turnaround! Too bad my patients haven't fared as well; Kyle told me that NF, my manic patient from the first Friday, went home on a weekend furlough but was brought back early b/c she got into a physical fight with her mother and then tried to run away again when she returned to TSH. *sigh*

In the afternoon we talked to Dr. C about ECTs and other topics. Kyle and Sital got to see an ECT this morning while David and I still haven't seen a single ECT. Hopefully we'll get to see one on Wednesday.
