There's something about a human voice that I'm find more and more compelling.Bryan Vartabedianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903850055771317764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771024867227257248.post-90267107069782474622010-07-15T21:43:16.340-04:002010-07-15T21:43:16.340-04:00Erin, you say:
"The innocence of a child doe...Erin, you say:<br /><br />"The innocence of a child doesn't leave him/her as the result of a psychiatric illness, medical trauma, or otherwise."<br /><br />Yes. Innocence doesn't leave, it is taken away. And it is taken away by people. I don't know whether it can come, grow back ... A writer, Hal Porter, said, "I had to learn to be innocent" (in his adulthood: read <i>The watcher on the cast-iron balcony</i> if you can).<br /><br />And your next sentence - about the whys - is really moving and true. Keep respecting this "why" as you search for a "how".<br /><br />"To avoid narcism [sic], I'll say that if something we did as a team brightened the life of a child, even for just that moment, it was all worth it."<br /><br />I am always happy to break bread and eat soup with you on your blog, and sniff its salt.<br /><br />If and when you do become a future psychiatrist, you will be entering the field in a time of change and strength for all of us.<br /><br />That second last paragraph about Death was sobering.Adelaide Duponthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01490123934889071074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771024867227257248.post-16162131087971371092010-07-15T19:51:03.723-04:002010-07-15T19:51:03.723-04:00Remember to take pride in what you did with the ab...Remember to take pride in what you did with the abilities that you have but remember that you're dealing with people and their lives at the same time. What you do may change the direction they take in life in either the way they think about situations or the fact that they might be able to walk again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771024867227257248.post-18516988864526510772010-07-15T18:38:47.029-04:002010-07-15T18:38:47.029-04:00I'm glad you enjoyed it!

If you get the chance, see if you can do inpatient, then tell me about the differences! It'd be interesting to hear from your perspective.Pissedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10596978267388411879noreply@blogger.com
