Events

Today I got a late start to the morning. The clinic opened later than normal because they were participating in a community event advocating for the prevention of childhood illnesses.
I had the opportunity to do a wart removal cryotherapy treatment. It even meant wielding a scalpel. Yikes. Slowly, but surely I'll get better at this business of caring for all sorts of health related things.
Also had a site visit today. I can't believe I only have 1 week left before I jump into an entirely new rotation. I've seen more than 100 patients already. I have my ups and downs, but mostly I'm loving it. It's reassuring that I've found a career path that I'll enjoy for a long time.
Sometimes things make you wonder more about the parents than the kids. We saw a 4 year old who still uses a pacifier and there's really only so much you can address in a 15 minute time slot.
This weekend I'll be in the Milwaukee area, running a half marathon! I did the same one last year and it was miserably hot, but they've made some changes for this time around. Here's hoping for good weather and strong legs that last the whole 13.1
