Résumé
The article offers a personal memoir of a psychiatric registrar's impressions of daily life while working in a South African mental hospital during the apartheid era in the late 1960s. From the perspective of a trainee psychiatrist, he recalls admission procedures, ward management, patient assessment, and medical and nursing care, including electroconvulsive therapy administration, at that time.
