i find that i'm enjoying my clinic days these year more than the last. for one thing, assessment suits me much more than therapy because i actually feel like i know what i'm doing sometimes, but also, patients this year all seem to come in thinking that they're going to see a real doctor, and i do nothing to disabuse them of the notion. after all, i feel like i'm entitled to at least one day a week when i don't have to feel like i'm the lowest form of life in the universe.
