Nuts

I think I've effectively ruled out psychiatry. Even though it was nice to see a former patient today who had found a job since he left, patched up things with his dad, and whittled all his girlfriends down to just one that he actually liked. Even though he asked me when I was going to be a doctor so I could be his doctor. How could I resist, I don't know. I'm an impatient person to begin with, then you give me all these nutty people who are all over the place and can't communicate, and I just don't deal well. Perhaps emergency medicine really is the place for me so I can bring 'em in, patch 'em up, and ship 'em out. What good is an impatient shrink anyway?

Hmmm... you don't like working with nutty people who are all over the place and can't communicate? That rules out teaching teenagers...

Don't worry, Pam. I don't like nuts, either.
