Schedule Changes

Last week was probably my busiest week yet. I worked 6/7 days. Monday I met with Dr. Chavin to secure my new job with him in the transplant department at MUSC. We made a plan for me now to go into the Transplant Department with him on Mondays and Fridays, that way I could continue to go into the rat lab Tuesday through Thursday with Dr. Adkins. Tuesday- Thursday were pretty baseline. We discussed an article and I worked on the ROIs, which are finally saving :D! Friday was crazy hectic, but fascinating and Saturday I worked in the ER and helped with a catheter. Tomorrow, I will be back with Dr. Chavin for another intense morning.

Catching Up

Last week was incredibly hectic due to the near shooting at school and other chaos, so I did not blog due to the distractions. That's not to say I didn't continue my work and research at MUSC. Last week Dr. Adkins and I started the week by discussing the articles and I continued to work on my ROIs. This week I have started a whole new plate of work. Yesterday, I met with Dr. Chavin to see what work I could do next. He offered me a job to come into the Clinical Science building at MUSC on Friday mornings. Now, I will go to the meetings starting at 7:00 AM and stay in that department until 9:30. For the first hour, I will go to the learning meetings with him, then, for the remainder of the time, I will go into the OR with him or another doctor in the department and watch surgeries. I'm very excited to start this because I will get more patient exposure and surgical exposure. This week is full of work; I'm working 6/7 days, but it's worth it because I'm about to have even more crazy experiences. Saturday's plan is back to the ER, which always fascinating.
