Family Medicine: Redemption (sort of)

I listened to the CDs that Dr. RR told me to listen to, and a great deal of what they talked about, he already told me yesterday. The one thing I threw in that he did not mention was that Mirena (the IUD) can be used to treat menorrhagia b/c it gives off progesterone, so at least he knew I did my homework. We then got a kid with growing pains in his knees, so that turned into my assignment of the night: knee pain. We'll just see how much I remember from ortho about torn menisci =)

So yeah...nothing much to report. We've had a girl come in for the third time since my rotation, this time for purulent rhinitis (last time it was pityriasis rosea); needless to say she started screaming as soon as she saw me. =/ Gotta love kids and white coat syndrome =P
