You paged about a consult?
Yeah. Yeah. Um... 50-something guy, post-op after getting shot by a patient.
Is this a joke?
No. I'm serious. Give me your clinical evaluation of my recovery.
No residual anger or fear.
Mm-hmm.
Normal intellectual and emotional functioning. You seem like you have moved on.
Yeah. And you should, too.
Excuse me?
I'm just wondering if today was less about your patient and more about lingering fears for our safety. It is certainly true that a very few patients can be dangerous. But the overwhelming majority are... harmless, and in fact very grateful for our help. Only they can't get that help if you come to work scared.
I'm not scared.
This is not an accusation, Doctor. I just want you to know that every psychiatrist goes through this at some point or another. And then it passes. And it'll pass for you, too.
