On Wednesday I was at SPA, which was interesting. I followed the clinical mgr, Alicia around for the afternoon. We set up exam rooms, checked in the patients for their exams, and watch her give some vaccines. I got to see a 4 mo check-up with a little boy who had club feet and wore a brace that connect his feet together. Since being in the brace at the age of 4, his posterior fontanel has grown flat against his head. So the doctor told the mom she needed to put him on his stomach several times a day to allow the fontanel to grow properly. On Friday, I was in Med-Surg with Mrs. Z. with a patient who was in alot of pain. She had spinal decompression surgery and she would not move for nothing. She would not do her tcdb because it hurt, she did not want me looking at her dressing, she did not want me to remove her IV dressing b/c it hurt. She was pitiful. Nothing we could do would stop her pain.
