Abstract
The experience of a young doctor who started on a prestigious psychiatric training scheme full of enthusiasm and pride. Various circumstances including an incompetent hard consultant pushed him into a state of helplessness and depression. On his own road to recovery he leaned valuable lessons, and these he shares in this story. He is now a better doctor than before, finding it exciting to see patients and to be part of the ongoing rhythms of life and death in his practice.
