apparently, i have become a mentor– showing a nice lady the ropes in the clinic– how to fill out the h&p paperwork, what questions to ask patients, what you do for prenatal care, and how to do pap smears/pelvic exams. the strange thing is… she’s a resident. she and i worked on patients together all morning so she could get oriented, and would have done the same all afternoon if she didn’t have to run off to another floor. she asked me what other days i was working so that she could come down during her off time and shadow me.

uhm, yikes.

the clinic was busy today– we didn’t finish until almost 530– and i took 2 patients at once just to get things done (mostly because i was the only female in the clinic at the time, and the woman didn’t want a male to examine her).

now… i’m watching annie bake. cake is a wonderful thing.
