Not much to report for the last week. With the gf here, I've been having a good ole time. Was stuck in the classroom all week last week, which totally sucked. This week we started back in the clinics.
I had my first family medicine clinic yesterday. It went well. I saw my first patient all by myself as the first person seeing her. It was pretty cool. There wasn't anything to find though because it turns out she had come in to see if she needed any vaccines; too bad, but I'll get to do more later. We saw a 4-month-old and right after a 90-year-old; quite the wide spectrum. Next week I'll be present during a walk-in clinic so that will give me a glimpse into a bit of emergency medicine. I am really interested in being a family physician, so this itsy bitsy glimpse into a family practice is actually exciting for me.
Tonight, I am shadowing in the psychiatry ER until midnight. I am obviously not alone. I'll be following a third or fourth year student and observing what the night call is like. I'll be doing this next year as a part of my psychiatry rotation. Tonight could be really interesting and hectic or it could end up being a bore, it all depends on whether or not there are people out there having psych emergencies or not.
As of now though, there's not much new to report really. I got out of bed at 11:00, said bye to the gf who went out to see her girlfriends, and I'm just passing the time trying to figure out how to rearrange my living room to accommodate the big-screen TV I inherited and waiting for my shadowing to start.
It's going to be a quiet week, but I'll post if something interesting happens.
