Losing the white coat, psych fears, and Internet questions answered

Cole Cheney returns from our state capital, where he's been doing his clerkships at our kind-of satellite campus. He and Kaci McCleary, John Pienta, and Rachel Schenkel talk about the differences between doing rotations in a teaching hospital and doing them in a community hospital. For example, how are community hospital patients different? And in that setting, what does it really mean if your patient is non-compliant? Cole reveals that he's 'afraid' he's going to love psychiatry and wants to know: are other students also wary of the specialty? We talk about the downsides of the field, as well as the rather big professional and caregiving upsides.
