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…
John, you are doing so well and I’m so very proud of you! Keep on working hard!
