A personal account of the experiences of a clinical psychologist who worked in the psychology and psychiatry departments at 1 Military Hospital, Voortrekkerhoogte in 1986 and 1987. He describes the structure of the service and some of the characters who were staff. There are also descriptions of some of the patients who were assessed and treated but from an anecdotal rather than clinical perspective. Complications of a medical service working within a military environment are described, as well as after-hours socialising in the SAMS Officers club, of young medical personnel, many of whom were national servicemen.
