Wow, Fall 2011 semester is already over (almost - I still need to take my local anesthesia final). Our last VA day for the semester was last Thursday. It was a scary drive down to Salt Lake with all the wind and debris flying around. On my last day there I saw 2 patients in the morning, a 5 and a 1B, so nothing too exciting. One of my patients just returned from Afganistan this last summer and I could tell that he is having a hard time being home. It was interesting to have to rearrange how I talked with him because most patients seem to want to chat and listen to what you have to say, but this patient just seemed to be going through the motions. It was a good experience for me to learn how to work with those kinds of patients.
It also must be noted that we actually left on time for our last day!
I can not believe the semester is already over it crazy, scary and sad all at the same time I want to be excited that we are getting so close but then I have to cry cause I am so freakin scared for what is to come with boards and life I wont be in school for the first time in 17 years is that amazing or what, what a journey for a piece of paper. well it been amazing but I am ready for a break. i am glad you made it through the strom it was craxy!!
ReplyDeleteThe VA really has been an interesting experience. I have sure gained an appreciation for what these men and women have done for us. Some of them have literally given their emotional and physical well beings for us. The weather was pretty insane today
