yep I'm pretty sure it's bipolar too.

What, I wonder, are the experiences of others regarding students? This is with particular respect to hospital and diagnostic experiences.

The fact the individual at the first hospital didn't identify herself as a doctor tells me she wasn't yet a resident even. It really irked me that the diagnosis was likely made based on her observations - particularly as it was incorrect.

I was much more confident about the circumstances with my other hospital visits (different province). I spent a great deal of time with residents and students and saw a psychiatrist for significant periods both alone and with the team.
