Clinic

Bonjour everyone! Starting 11th quarter! Very exciting times. I'm in full swing in clinic and everything. I had my first rounds of out-reach today, where we went to treat at a retirement home. It was a different population from the typical sports council population I'm used to treating, but it was fun. 
The best part of 11th quarter?  Basically I have no more classes. I have class on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. A huge change from Monday through Friday from 7:40 to 5:00! 
It's really a transition into becoming a doctor at this point. It less about the academic world and more about applying the academic world to the patient. The patient doesn't really care about all the other academic stuff we think is cool, they care about the condition they have and nothing else. So it's important for me to focus on what their presenting condition is and do what I became a doctor for... to help people.
