Practiced knowledge (And you call that 'maturity'?)

Sat with our Psych Consultant this morning- he interviewed a patient. When it finished, he looked at us and asked, "What did you see?"
The last person in the group gave the exact answer he was looking for- 'a man, middle aged...' Spot on!

When you see a patient- before you look for any psychiatric signs, look at the person- how the person is, the personality and the IQ. And do this to every patient, not just to psychiatric patient, because people tell story- even just by looking at them, before they even say a word.

When the next patient came in, that was what we did.

Walking into the Meeting Room in Curtin Uni this afternoon, I was late. When I went inside, the first thing that came into my mind was 'how unprofessional!'.
Perhaps now was the time to practice the knowledge I learned this morning. So I listened, watched and scrutinized.

'No wonder...' Sometimes I'm just amused with the level of 'maturity' some so-called people around the age of 20s showed.

And so the says 'Female is usually 3-5 years more matured than males of the same age' must be true. How sad- when especially men are supposed to be the leaders.
