Neuropsychiatry in Venezuela:
Apologies for the lack of posts, but I've just arrived in Punto Fijo in Venezuela, as I've kindly been invited to be a guest of the Venezuelan Psychiatric Society at their annual conference, where I shall be talking about the cognitive neuropsychiatry of psychosis later in the week.
Unfortunately it's dark and I've been travelling since yesterday, so all I know about Punto Fijo is that it is supposed to be remarkably beautiful and it's incredibly humid.
However, I spent a fantastic day in Caracas with Jorge, a superb colleague from Medellín, and Jose and Claudia, a Venezuelan psychiatrist and psychologist couple who graciously toured us through the city and showed two weary travellers some warm Venezuelan Hospitality.
Updates to follow shortly (after some well deserved sleep).
