Today was my first day of work. Actually felt like a real doctor today. I had no one to precept with, just saw patients. Paper charts only. I admitted my first patient today for LLL PNA, had to write my orders by hand...ACD Van What? Where are the order sets? I drained a buttocks abscess..hopefully I did it right? He'll be fine. I gave him Bactrim as well.
Also learned today that the TB rate in Nome is the highest in North America, 40/100,000...please let me know if I'm coughing when I get home.
Thursday I'm on call. I will cover the entire hospital. 2 ER beds, 15 inpatient, OB, and any trauma's that come in. Wait, when did I have trauma training??? I'm very nervous. I also cover the villages, if they have anyone they need to fly in. AHHH!!! This is true FP.
goodness! you'll be a super-doctor by the time you're done with this rotation! go tanya!
