Outpatient
My current clinical site has no doctor on staff tomorrow (orthopedic office) so I have been reassigned to one of the local hospital’s outpatient imaging center for the day. This is the site where I did my first 8 weeks of clinical. I might get an opportunity to comp something that I won’t see in the ortho office. I’ll be back in a hospital in a few weeks for the rest of the semetser, but I’m almost approaching a stall point for comps in my current location. I have almost comped everything that I can currently comp. There are some exams that I still need, but they just don’t show up very often. I had hoped to get the erect abdomen last semester but it didn’t happen. Maybe that opportunity will happen tomorrow. I picked up the navicular/scaphoid (wrist ulnar deviation) today to bring my comp total for this semester to 18. I only have to get 22 for the maximum grade, so I’ll have that with some to spare hopefully. I know that I’ll get the knee, shoulder, and hip in the ortho office, which will almost get me to the goal. When I move to the hospital, I should be able to finish my spinal stuff and some more portables. I might even get lucky and knock out some of the trauma stuff as well.
My confidence is still climbing…
