First day of clinics!!! I left home to go to the Austin Hospital at 6:00 the commute was half travel and half being lost. I'll be able to leave a tad later tomorrow since I know where I'm going now. We spent the first half of the day doing administrative things, getting ID cards, learning about computers, getting library access. This afternoon we actually got to see patients. My partner Nikki and I spent about 3 hours trying to read patient charts. They were confusing but we got the hang of it by the end of the day. We got to see 2 patients but the most interesting one was the one that we didn't get to see. A sweet lady was mugged at the market and broke both arms and her back! Crazy! We'll get to see her tomorrow today she didn't have appropriate pain relief to work with us.
We were lucky enough to get free lunch. A bank was doing a promotion in the lobby and gave away free food to all hospital staff. (Which is us!!)
On my way home from the hospital I went to my friend Angela's house. She was sick and couldn't make it to clinic so I brought her the things that she had missed. Passing her house I found a duck. :)
Happy Birthday Grumpy! I hope that it was absolutely wonderful.
