Family Medicine: Remediation

Last night I was assigned to read up on dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia by Dr. RR, but when time came for me to tell him what I knew, I found out just how little I remembered (or studied) from obgyn (didn't study much last night). Dr. RR could tell I didn't know what I was talking about, b/c he gave me some CDs to listen to about dysmenorrhea and said we'd talk about it more tomorrow. =/ The interesting thing was, later today I did get a 17-year-old patient who had heavy periods lasting 2 weeks each time, about 2-3 months apart, and had cramps so bad that she couldn't go to school. The solution for her: birth control pills. *sigh* Obgyn was definitely not one of my better subjects. Here's to tomorrow being a better day.
