OMM: Too many students

Last Friday nothing much happened so I didn't update. Aaron B stopped by to visit since he worked with Dr. KB the month before I did, and everyone there raved about what a great student he was. I think I need to get my act together if I have to live up to Aaron's performance =) Surgery schedules for January have also come out; I start with general surgery at JPS, continue on to ortho, and then finish with ENT. Sounds good except for the JPS part; that will be hectic.

Dr. KB didn't work today so I went to the PCC. On top of the five medical students already rotating there, there were also a 4th year student (Jim) and a PGY-1 from Plaza who's doing her OMM required rotation at the PCC this month. 8 students, 2 doctors. Dr. D has officially gone on medical leave so there are too many students and too few doctors. I paired up with Angela for two patients and got to treat them before Dr. G came along. Unlike Dr. KB, who likes HVLA, Dr. G prefers JSCS, MFR, and LAS. So I got to do a lot of "floating" today.

ENT has great hours, and that will be nice to have right before your shelf. As for JPS....sorry!

PS. Do you know anything about Aaron B? He took a personal leave of absence already once this year, and now he is doing it again. I think he may be majorly burned out and on the verge of quitting school or something.
