DATED: APRIL 09, 2018

On the last Monday Sir Zubair Sahib divided us into two groups just like the

previous time but this time my clinical placement was in LRH. We went there to

psychiatry ward because there is only one psychiatry ward in LRH. First we met

with the doctors and then with the head nurse and the head nurse asked the staff

nurse that assigned the patients to these students. As the patients were very less,

therefore the staff nurse whose name was Farzana assigned one patient to a

group of students. She also told the students you should take the history from the

patients number wise, so that you get enough experience in history taking. The

patient assigned to us was 30 years and his name was Mr.Hammad khan. First the

other students took the history from the patient and filled their ABCT forms and

then me and Tahirullah started to take history from the patient. First of all we

started with demographic data and came to other data. As we took start to take

personal and religious data, Mr Tahirullah asked the patient about his religious

belief. The patient answered that he has no belief about the afterlife because, if

one animal in the forest kills another live one for their own food, then it is not fair

with that animal. It is unjust. Why God allowed to these animals to killed the

other innocent animals for the purpose of their food? Why God do this kind of

unfairness with these animals? That’s why he did not believe in afterlife or the

day of judgment. Mr Tahirullah started reasoning with the patient due to which

the patient became aggressive and irritated. I gestured Mr Tahirullah to become

silient, but he continue his reasoning with the patient.

After a while I again gestured him with aggressive mood, then he understood and

became silient. I felt that Mr Tahirullah should not show such like of behavior

because the client was a psychiatric patient and he was not in touch with reality. I

evaluated from the event that Mr Tahir should not reason with the patient

because he already knew the patient status but on second time when I gestured

him in an aggressive mood, he understood and gave me a polite response and

became silient. In future, If such like event occur in front of me, I will counsel the

person that you should not do like this. You should counsel the patient.
