Week 1:
Let me start out by saying that I had the hardest time remembering my gmail password so that I could participate in the blogging....
Diabetic toes, amputated limbs, MRSA, lymphedema x 2, filled wound vac, dementia, abdominal abcesses, tons of ackward intoductions to doctors, and on top of it all I dumped a pitcher of ice water on the other guy in my patient's room(funny but embarrassing). Got to do a wound care round with the nurses on Friday...wow its three older ladies with guts of steel who take care of all wounds in the main building. I think Julie called ahead and mentioned how much I like to look at stage 4 sacral pressure ulcers and puss dripping chronic diabetic heels right before lunch time. For some reason the nurses thought that this would be the perfect appetizer! On top of it all I seem to caught between a orthopedic conflict with the Physical Therapist's and Kinesiotherapist's, yes KT!?! They see all the ortho pts and do not like student PT's looking over their shoulders to see their hip/knee/ankle pts or touching their goniometers, and playing with the modalities...BIG NO NO!. But, so far the VA has been pretty cool and very different experience, the facilities are pretty up to date, and clinic has everything a car, kitchen, bedroom, and driving similator. Did I mention that I get my own desk with computer and swivel chair.....HOLLA!
