Slow | Doctors at Play

I attempted to draw blood today from a lady's hand. Epic fail. The nurse couldn't find any good veins in her arms, so we had to use her hands, and that's supposed to hurt like mad. Can't I just leave the needlework to the nurses? The world is probably safer if I stay away from sharp objects anyway.

This morning was spent learning some physical medicine maneuvers all over again. We got a free lunch out of it and lots of free time. The afternoon was spent in Junior Teaching Clinic where we saw some general medicine patients and went through basic clinical scenarios. I have three JTC sessions a week, each with different preceptors. My Wednesday one is definitely the best so far. But then again, maybe that's not a fair assessment because my other two preceptors didn't show up for our first sessions. Not that cool. I did get one free afternoon off though.
