旅行之后
重新回到工作岗位一周,心思其实还在新西兰。我周一上车,要用钥匙启动引擎,几秒之后才发现我的车是无钥匙的。开着车踩着油门,感觉也有一点奇怪。两个星期的旅行使得我养成一种生活习惯。这也印证了心理学的发现,要养成一个习惯只须坚持做十四天。
虽然如此,长假后回到工作,心情反差没有想象的糟糕。我觉得这是一个成长的象征。长大后就要学会适应人生中的每个阶段和变化。这包括调适每个周末后的“忧郁星期一”。我这一个星期里,每遇到一个同事就会被寒暄假期过得怎么样。大多数我也只随意回复应酬一下,并投入应付工作。
当我下班后,才开始回想旅行中的种种美好回忆。晚上睡觉时,梦里都是旅行中的事。有一次我还梦见了正在煮晚餐赶行程。
感谢这一趟充实的旅行。虽然身体是疲惫的,但心灵是满足的。就让我继续地好好工作,期待下一次更好的旅途。

Noise
After two and a half months, I finally finished reading this book "Noise: The Flaws In Human Judgement". It took me so long, partly because it was so academic.
It talks about how we overconfident in our estimates and judgements. We always pride ourselves as sentient beings that robots cannot come close in terms of emotion and judgement. But this can be our weakness as well. We always tell ourselves to trust our gut feelings, but there are times these produce a lot of errors.
Overall, there are a lot of insights to glean from. I had the chance to share the book with two of my psychiatrist, since it is mentioned in the book psychiatry is the most "noisy" specialty in medicine.
Personally, I do agree with this statement. There are many times I feel frustrated because I find uncertainties in terms of diagnosis. Unfortunately, there is no blood test or imaging to diagnose a mental health condition. We depend on symptoms. Even though the DSM is there to help us to stratify the diagnosis, but it is still not perfect.
Another big challenge in this field is about risk assessment. I admit I am really bad at this. We always want to estimate how high is the risk of a person to commit suicide. But research shows that this is the most difficult thing to ascertain as suicide is very unpredictable.
The book also talks about ways to reduce those noise. For medical field, clinical practice guidelines are a way to ensure uniformity across the diagnosis. Even so, patients' presentations are variable. One thing mentioned is about decision making hygiene. After finishing the book, I still need some time to digest the content, and hopefully able to improve my clinical judgement in my practice.
