*sigh* Notice how my posts are getting later and later? These days I really don't feel like blogging much because nothing's really going on. Clinic didn't start until nearly 9:00 today due to a staff meeting (during which I did 50 Kaplan questions), but after that things got rolling pretty good. My class was supposed to meet at the Anatomy lab at 2:00 pm so Dr. RR originally said I didn't have to come back after lunch, but our morning didn't end until 12:30 and drug reps brought lunch so I never actually left. I ended up seeing 2 patients before driving to school.
I definitely don't miss the smell of the anatomy lab. To my dismay, many people wore scrubs while I was still in my white coat and sort-of business casual clothes, so I left the white coat in the lockers. There were two cadavers waiting to be intubated (Dr. T from Plaza was there with some interns to teach us how to intubate). One of them was an obese woman (one of the BONES of making intubation difficult), but because the interns had already practiced on her and made an indentation in her tongue, I was able to intubate her fairly easily. "Are these any of your patients?" Dustin N joked, and I was glad to say no. I had one elderly lady as a patient who didn't think she'd live another year, but she was tiny.
*sigh* I really don't know how to study for this shelf. I hope I don't fail =(
