A lot of what you can probably imagine ... pap smears, taking cultures, breast exams, prevention counseling. I like viewing cultures under the microscope, I had thought that my days of microbiology lab were over. Nothing else too exciting ... one patient was having unprotected sex with her boyfriend who shoots heroin. She and I had a serious talk, which ended with me saying, "come on, surely you've had this talk with a medical professional before." She said, "I've never had this talk with ANYone before." That made me feel good, but my main concern is that she wisen up and take better care of her health and her life.
Anyhow, as I was leaving my preceptor said, "strong first week, I like it". So that was good. Now a weekend of heavy study on dysmenorrhea and every other subject under the sun, and then back to the clinic on Monday. Tuesday ... hospital scrub in at L&D.
