Well, it's tough. It's very tough work. Even with my experience, I find these days the work is really tough and difficult and draining. The diagnosis, we do our best with diagnosing, but I'm sure I've made mistakes. The safety of patients is most important in emergency work. So in other words, making sure that the client is safe

and preventing danger or reducing danger is more important than getting the diagnosis correct in emergency services.

Well, I think naturally there is some desensitization which takes place because otherwise I wouldn't be able to function. There has to be some compartmentalization that happens. And I have to remind myself that whatever dysfunction I saw is a function of the broken system. I have to remind myself to not take responsibility for the negative outcomes that I see on a daily basis.

Yeah, yeah, definitely. So it's really important to take care of myself and cope well and process difficult cases with supervisors and my support system. I'm really lucky that I have some great colleagues, you know, who are really supportive and knowing when I need help. There's always an administrator on call. The program I work for never closes.

When someone is clearly suicidal with planned means intent, that is a very straightforward case. A lot of cases involving psychosis can be really tricky and involve a lot of gray areas because there are varying degrees of psychosis.

And he has a plan to hang himself and, you know, go to Home Depot and buy the tools for it. And he knows exactly where he's going to do it. And that's a case that's like, for lack of a better word, easy.
