Getting There, Slowly

The week moves on and we keep on moving with it. My schedule this week seems more an more delightful the more I look at it. This morning was terrible. Even though our test is this week, our Essentials of Patient Care class (or Epitome of Pointless Crap class) decided this Monday would be the best time to test our overall knowledge of clinical practice skills. That means we have to conduct a 20 minute interview encompassing a patient's total complaint, medical history, personal history and physical exam. Needless to say, memorizing all of the minutiae of the full medical interview was annoying and time-consuming. When the time for my interview came, I felt only slightly prepared, and even though I skipped a couple major parts of the exam, my fake patient said that I did amazing. To celebrate finishing the exam, Sheylan, Kathy, and I decided to get lunch at the Shands south tower. After 3 pictures, this is the best I got.


After lunch, we had our last lecture of new material until the test. Learning the respiratory system in an hour while confusing, was a nice departure from the dragging lymphatic lectures. Right now, I'm sitting in lab as we go over slides together. Take a look at the awesome people I do Histology with.

Here's a picture of my Junior Honors buddies. (from left to right) Sang "Gooey", Tim, Steven, and Monica

Monica got paranoid when I took that picture of them, so I better post this before she makes me delete it.
