Externship: Week 4

Tuesday, December 2, 2008

Week 4 started quietly today. Although there were fewer doctors, we still had a lot of patients and with four MAs (Medical Assistants) the day flew by.

I cannot begin to tell you how positively thrilling it is to recognize repeat patients -- by name -- or have a patient ask for me to draw their blood.

Today, I gave my first "official" TB skin test to a teeny-tiny, 90-something year old woman. The wheal was perfect!
