I am totally geeked! This friday one of our drug companies is supplying us with a Virtual Hallucination machine! So we get to experience the sensations of hallucinating as the patients that we treat experience. Very Cool!
I get to Hallucinate on the Job and NOT get into trouble!!!

I would think that they would set up some paranoid situations so we get the full effect

Damn, Gretchen, that sounds cool. Let us know if it's anything like dropping acid or eating shrooms, will ya?
It doesn't sound fun, to be honest, but should be a great tool to help you help your patients.
