It is what it is.

I'm not allowed to say too much about this rotation for legal reasons, but I will say that I've developed a serious respect for the clinicians who deal with this patient population. There's a fine line between patient and offender here, and I'm trying my best to observe and sort it out in my mind. This rotation is just about the complete opposite from my last one, but it is allowing me to get a closer look at a darker side of both psyche and pediatrics. Knowledge is power, and I'm definitely learning a great deal.
