Psychiatrist. Medical school and by divide their time between treating patients psychiatry. What made you go into psychiatry . Good question. When i was in medical school i was decided between psychiatry and cardiology which are two very different deals. Actually leaning towards the cardiology part initially.

At the end of the war, the government celebrated by bringing 200,000 soldiers to washington d. C. To acknowledge the fact that after four years of a bloody war, it was finally over, the nation had been saved as one nation under god, and the legacy of slavery had ended forever because the union now includes africanamerican soldiers who helped win this war and change the direction of this nation.
