Today was another long day of job shadowing a cardiologist. We saw a lot of the same patients we saw yesterday, as well as new patients. The cardiologist I am shadowing was paged multiple times to the ER both days, and it was interesting to see what these kinds of cases look like from the doctor's perspective. I have been an ER patient before, but never got to see what the doctors see.
I really enjoy the hospital environment. One thing that job shadowing has helped me realize is that I definitely want to work in a hospital environment, not in an office. I am sure that for some doctors working in an office setting is wonderful and a perfect fit for them, and maybe when I am really old and approaching retirement, the office will be a better fit, but I really like the hospital environment.
I enjoy seeing hospital procedures as well. Some of the procedures i have seen in the hospital this time include cardioversions and catheterizations. I enjoy the procedures the most. I like the choreography of surgical procedures, the scrubbing in, the sterilized drapes, the cleanliness, the way everyone seems to know exactly what they should do next and where they should go.
Looking forward to tomorrow. :)
