The big first of the day? First Pap smear! Firsts are so crazy. I guess our real first time wielding the speculum was on our amazing saint of a pelvic exam instructor, but this was the first person who wasn't getting paid to tolerate my clumsiness. But it was pretty smooth. Got in, got that swab, got out. The patients were all so kind and sweet today, totally letting me participate and wishing me genuine luck. Thanks, patients!
Anna was there at ob/fyn clinic today, too, and it was fun to work side by side, scribbling our notes. Colleagues!
This guy was teaching us about heart sounds a few weeks ago, and we were all talking about how in real life practice no one really listens to every spot they're supposed to in the right way. He was like, "Ever see someone only listen to 'the sweet spot'?" And we were like, what's the sweet spot? "Where you can hear breath sounds, bowel sounds, and heart sounds all in one spot." Ah, the things I find funny.
Quick, what do these abbreviations stand for?
AAA
SOB
PDA
If you said abdominal aortic aneurysm, shortness of breath, and patent ductus arteriosus, you are a huge dorky medical person. If you said American Automobile Association, son of a bitch, and public display of affection, you are a normal person.
