Day 1 of first rotation

Yesterday was my first day of my primary care rotation. This is a 6 week rotation at a local family practice office with 1 Doc and 3 PA's (all are alumni from my program). I will be shadowing the first 3 days and then I get to start seeing patients on my own this friday. So, I observed 23 patients and was in clinic for 13 hours! Awesome. I saw a wide variety of conditions ranging from high cholesterol to ingrown toenail removal and everything in between. I got home at 8pm, heated up some food, entered my patients into Typhon (school system that logs our patient encounters), reviewed some pharmacology that I could not remember when I was pimped in clinic, then to bed. It is 6:15 a.m. and i'm getting my lunch and snacks together for today.

Woot!
