doctoring

Another interesting day at the Family Medicine clinic. In all honesty, I'm having more fun that I thought I will. Learning fast and my preceptor, Dr. Evans is GREAT!!! I did a presentation on Hyperparathyroidism today and I think I did fine.

So I was seeing this mid age AA female who came in with periorbital edema and erythema. She asked if she could get a tetanus vaccine, she has had the last short over 10yrs ago. Sure you can. Why are you asking for a tetanus shot? I asked. "It's because of my allergies. I need it for my allergies".

I'll be having a standardized patient tomorrow and I'm about ready for that. Will see how it goes!

Will keep you posted!
