The Importance of Psychiatry
I was very, very impressed by the way Freud took some of his dream. And then, you know, working with the patient, discovered all kinds of underlying motivations in that person's life. So at that point, I made up my mind that I was going to become a psychiatrist. But I spent one month on the obstetrical wing of a large hospitals in Michael's Hospital in Toronto. And I absolutely detested and was turned off by the way obstetricians treated women. They would yell at them, you know,. just push, push. The whole delivery process was so inhuman as far as I was concerned; it was very inhuman. It really turned me off.
