Today I had a later start because Dr. Lewis didn’t start seeing patients until 9:30 am (Yay! More sleep). Like yesterday, I shadowed Dr. Lewis and asked questions throughout the day. Some of the topics that came up in our conversations today were vericose veins, Parkinson’s disease, bicornuate uterus, A1C test (a blood test that gives info on blood sugar – can be used to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes). Dr. Lewis’ last patient left around 12: 30 pm so after I had lunch I met with Ms. Daniel. I spent the rest of the day helping Ms. Daniel with data entry to remind patients (by email) of when the wellness programs take place. Overall, today was an eventful day. I’m glad that I learned so much!
