Clinics

Thursday at clinics, I was at LNRMC, I had a 70 yr old diabetic lady in with rectal bleeding with a colostomy and a history of metastatic ovarian cancer. She was pleasant and easy to help. She had had a fall in the shower just a couple of days prior. On Friday, I went to the FHC at the health department. I didn't get to see anything...we got the first patient ready for an exam for her 2nd treatment of chlamydia this year, but the nurse really wanted me to see the refugee physical because it would cover so many things, but as it turned out after the initial screening (hearing and vision test) and several phone calls, all she needed was a follow up for a positive TB test and clear chest x-ray. By the time we found out what needed to be done, it was time to go. However, the people in the office and the doctor I talked to were very nice and more than willing to teach me anything they could think of. Even though I didn't get to see anything, I really enjoyed the visit, I learned many things.
