another one bites the dust...

It snowed here this morning! The day wasn't as exciting but I did get to see some of my own follow up patients so that was good. Fridays are admin day at the HC so after the usual morning sick clinic we are able to catch up on some of our monitoring of patients and labs. The room I'm in is the "love bug" room, which is a cute way of saying we monitor the STIs. When we get back a positive urine sample, we have to treat and contact trace. It sounds not too exciting, but it's great because it's easy to see progress and check off the list! Plus, after every treatment my preceptor sings the "another one bites the dust" song :) Since I've seen enough, I can go through these patients myself.
There was another seizure today but since I wasn't nurse on call I wasn't as involved. This one was an adult with a history, so he wasn't medevaced but just monitored in the HC for the day on an IV and dilantin.
Going into my first weekend (hopefully some pictures to come!) and on call again on Sunday, which will hopefully be just a little less eventful...
see you soon,
