Went to clinic twice last week. The first time (Tues) I went to a fixed clinic where I hung out with the SA students with robust senses of humor (I’m actually posing w/ the ringleader in this photo). The second time (Wed), we were grossly understaffed for the first time since I’ve been here. Zara joined me. We split the few students up between the two camps. Apart from Zara, there were two other clinical students (SA and France). There was one other pre-clin and two pre-meds. It was a feeble team for sure. After teaming up w/ Zara for a bit and working on the physical, I was asked to see patients on my own. I saw two women. One with muscle aches and another w/ pharyngitis. I wasn’t nervous, but I had no idea what I was doing. The attending was a nice enough guy. When I first presented to him, he noticed I would point to myself when referring to a spot on the patient’s body. All in all, things went smoothly.
