Day 3, my friend Teresa joined me at the hospital for a day of shadowing. There wasn't as much to see Day 3, as the doctor that I was shadowing was behind on paperwork and spent a good deal of time dictating and working on the computer. There were a few patients to see, however, and still much to learn.
One of the things I really feel that I really feel I strengthened over the course of this week is the way I feel about the patient exam. I am much more comfortable around patients after this week, and I believe that this will really help me in medical school when I have to do my first physical exams and have to get patient history for the first time.
I feel really strong in my ability to look at an EKG or echocardiogram, and I have heard several murmurs with a stethoscope.
What an awesome week. I really don't want to go back and work on organic chemistry after this week. I really wish I was done with school and could just skip right to the work in the hospital!
