NEMC-RENAL and PEDS CLINIC

I was only at NE on Thursday. I took care of a lady who was in renal failure, but she was not on dialysis. She was very sweet. When I asked her to roll on her side so that I could listen to her lung sounds on her back, she looked at me and said "ok I will do my best". On Friday I went to the pediatric clinic. During the night clinic a young girl came in with a big gash on the back of her heel. If the mom took pressure off it would start bleeding again. I also met an interesting young couple who had a 4 yo boy and a 4 month baby girl. Every time the little boy would get up to see what was going on the dad would say "sit back down, right now." The dad also told the little boy that he was going to get the shots for his sister, and that upset the little boy. We gave the little boy some stickers and that made him really happy. I enjoyed going to the peds clinic.
