Back to School

So it has been a while since I have blogged. That's not to say I have been idle. Over the break, I completed about 8 hours of work in the ER and ICU. Both were interesting as usual, with the ER being  more interesting. The ICU was pretty gross. It was a lot of bathroom complications in beds, making it rather smelly and slightly unenjoyable. Needless to say it was still a cool experience. On the other hand, the ER was pretty busy on Christmas Eve. I saw a variation of sicknesses and issues, sickle cell being one of the most interesting. I was especially pleased when a doctor approached me for my help though. I excitedly answered yes, only to find out I was helping with a stool sample. Even though it was gross, the doctor was incredible to me in that he explained every bit and part of it to me. Overall, it was hectic, busy, and tiring, but definitely fascinating.
