FINAL DAY
As the final day arrives and my time here at the Wexford offices comes to close it is time to wrap things up. My final day was just like all the others, typing up about previous days and looking at all the ways that the therapists, counselors and doctors methods overlap support and work together. Each session is different but they all follow central themes of production. There is always a warm up, causally talking about how the day has been, what the patient had been up to. Then begins the questions about the patient's disorder than how treatment has been going, any rising concerns, and then new ways to handle the disorder.
It really has been a fun time and a great learning experience and if you would like to read more about my reflection and personal thoughts please refer to my Self assessment page and Life after Magellan page.
My final day I had to sit down with Dr. Schlesinger and review all the entries I had made about the sessions that I had the chance to sit in on and learn from. As I had disclosed at the beginning of my blog entries, these were sessions I had been given permission to sit in on and learn from. It would be breaking that agreement to write about a patient's personal struggles with a disorder if I wrote about the specifics of their history and their progress. Every patient's history and mannerisms is what makes each presentation of a disorder different, but to disclose those specifics would be breaking confidential agreements. So in for me to share what I have learned about diagnosing and treatment of different presentations of a disorder I rewrote cases that I got to sit in on in order to share them in blog form. So if you are reading these entries as a way to learn about real life patients with theses disorders, these entries are still a great way to have different and changing versions of a disorder that would not just be a flat case study. If you are just reading this blog as an interesting read about the inside of a behavioral health services center, that's all right too!
Dr. Schlesinger reviewed my entries about these patients to make sure that a particular patient would not come across this entry and view the description of the write up and recognize personal information that they disclosed in the therapy sessions. This final activity before leaving the offices just reinforced the respect that the employees here at the Children's offices provide to their patients. They always make sure that the patient is comfortable and never stretches that comfort to far jeopardizing the progress they have made in therapy.
My time in the office has come to a close and I thank everyone who has accommodated me in their schedules, stayed late to discuss principles and conditions, and talked about their own personal lives and how they decided to work in this field. It has been an enlightening experience and I will be forever grateful for those who let me spend this time with them and learn. I can not say it enough, thank you.
