Anyway, we had our very first Psy lecture today. I thought it was quite interesting since it was about appreciation of art, music and the human mind. Somehow, the paintings the Prof showed us today seem more interesting than those I saw at the countless museums in Spain except maybe for the Black period by this Spanish painter whose name I have forgotten.
I first came into contact with this field of medicine when I was wearing the greens. Not that I was taking up the sick role but rather I was a medic in a psy department. I was involved in mostly paper work apart from the occasional tests that I was allowed to do. The subject in question to me then was mostly about all the different drugs that works wonders to which I have already forgotten more than half. I thought it was rather dry then. However, since then I have always felt that the patients are unfairly stigmatised and mostly questioned why the suffering.
Then there was the project I took up in this tertiary institution. I was totally masked by the lack of response and was not in any mood magnify the subject further. I just wished the response rate would rocket one day. Having entered phase 2 of the project, things still don't look too good. Then again, I still have technically 2.5 years more to complete it. haha
Now that I am finally posted to this department. I look forward to really learning it in great detail and maybe find out more. The lectures today were mostly interesting, nothing really scientific but all about art and music. There are quite a number of programmes installed for us and I really hope that they won't try to make the topics too dry. The human mind, so complicated yet so delicate.
So for now, stethscope and all the other tappers and tuning forks shall stay at home!
