I like the duality of your title. Your text contains a surprise in it, everything just in 50 words. There is a good contrast between the screaming, aggressive patient and the calm, contained, professional psychiatrist.

I liked this refreshing view of one of the oldest tools in the psychiatrist's box, the Rorschach Inkblot Test. Wouldn't it be fun if it were discovered this was how the thing was invented. I had to do one when I went for a job with the oil company Shell. There conclusion was I would make a good team player. I declined their offer of a job.

    Did you concur with their assessment of you? If you'd taken the job you might've got cheap petrol for your motorbike, haha.

Oh, I have been in situations with my residents/patients working at nursing homes. You never know when someone will go off on you. One of my patients/residents was a former boxer from Chicago. And for three months, I had taken care of him, not knowing his complete history. Until one day, I was shaving his bead. One of the Nurse Assistants came into the room. She pulled me aside and said,

"Not too long before you came to work here, he knocked one of our assistants out cold. She had to be taken away in an ambulance to the nearest hospital."

Afterwards, I proceeded with caution. Thank you for posting.

    Thanks for sharing your working experience. Nursing homes can be dangerous places. My own father's behaviour changed when he had Alzheimers and he became aggressive at times. I'm glad he wasn't a former boxer. He kicked a carer in the face once when she was helping him put his shoes on. I'm sure he would've been really upset to have done that as he was a kind and gentle man previously.
