just say no to violence in the workplace

this morning i rounded on our lone gyn patient before joining the team on ob. it’s great to follow the patients from L&D to postpartum to clinic. i feel like i know them.

clinic was crowded today– too many students, and too few patients. i saw a handful of patients, most notably:

- the not-so-sedated dementia patient who kicked me multiple times when i tried to do a pap smear on her.

- the nice patient who, after being hesitant about having a student examine her, decided to let me have a try, and afterwards gave me her buisness card and told me to call her after i became a doctor and tell her where i was practicing. ::sniff:: she likes me!

- and lastly, the r/o lichen sclerosis patient who actually had the freakiest looking fungal infection i’ve ever seen.

and now… time for a much needed day off.
