My husband is a PA and he worked several years in mental health, it became so depressing for him that he decided to work in another department. It takes a very special person to work with these patients. They definitely have my respect!

I've spent a bit of time working in an Alzheimer's unit, and although it made me nervous at first, I found it quite rewarding. Even though the patients usually aren't aware of the surroundings, it's rewarding to know that you are helping them in some small way.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235049088894924879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4635742782863952276.post-90752781511327226512009-09-23T10:40:04.939-07:002009-09-23T10:40:04.939-07:00I remember during my psych rotation, thinking - th...I remember during my psych rotation, thinking - this would be an exciting specialty to get into.

The loss of who he was is devastating for my husband. But to be like that while still able-bodied is incomprehensible; it seems like such a terrible waste. I know that God can work good through all circumstances, but it's hard to find ANYTHING good in a place like that.
