Dear Karen,<\/span><\/p>\n
I am a med student. Just completed my EMT! My first experience came from a woman who fought our med team in different voices. I had read your story in my abnormal psychology class and knew the difference between a mpd patient and a paranoid schizophrenic. She was clearly not a mpd. How did I come to that conclusion. Your book. Luckily during my first call I knew how to handle and ask the right questions needed to proceed. I am positive if it weren\u2019t for reading Switching Time I would\u2019ve never have had the required knowledge accessible. Thank you Dr. Baer and Karen. This book is a must read for all med students in all areas of medicines. This book provided me with a new insight I never imagined I\u2019d ever need. Great to know the both of you!<\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you,<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Alan,<\/span><\/p>\n
WOW! That’s an amazing story! I am glad to hear that you came to a better understanding of what to look for in a patient who may have been experiencing alter chaos. It’s important to have an idea of what to look for even though a diagnosis is hard to make on the spot. I believe you showed cautious judgment and had just enough information to ask\u00a0the right\u00a0questions. That’s an\u00a0amazing accomplishment!<\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for sharing! Dr. Baer and I hope that our story will be acknowledged and accepted by all medical students\u00a0during their psychiatric rotations.<\/span><\/p>\n
Wishing you\u00a0success in your medical career.<\/span><\/p>\n
