Notes -
I... uh... didn't know that until I opened my revision notes to look for examples. You are welcome to update on how smart or well-read a psychiatry student I am. In all fairness, that knowledge is irrelevant in clinical use, I've never seen or heard of a psychiatrist not prescribing because of pneumonia risk from an antipsychotic.
But, in general, my main source of frustration is irrelevant information gumming up the syllabus rather than the fact that a lot of memorization is involved. If what I have to memorize a lot of facts to be a good psychiatrist, then that's just what I need to do. But I don't enjoy, and in fact, hate quite a bit of what I'm forced to learn. Physics majors aren't grilled on their knowledge of Aristotlian mechanics, nor are chemists asked to produce the schematics of the alembic necessary for transmuting lead to gold. It's all so tiresome.
