9/15/09 VA

First full day at the VA. I ended up with the fifth room, but it was not bad. I ask Prof. Bossenberger to check on me a lot/ not to forget about me.
I think it went really smooth.
Other then the instrument being dull. I fill like every instrument issue as a completely different set of instruments and I have to use what I got. It is like playing a game, you got a box of stuff and you have to build or do something with it. I need to work on sharping and feel comfortable about it.
I really like Dr Durham, he was very nice and acknowledge me. Kristen was amazing CA, always willing to help.
By going to the VA I feel that I am learning a lot about medical history and different medications. One of my patients was on warfarin, I need to be extra careful not to cause any trauma to the tissues because the patient will have a hard time clogging and will not stop bleeding. And many more different conditions.
I really enjoy when I can talk to my patient. Some are more talkative then others. It makes me relax.
