Today has been the busiest day yet. Dr. Lewis started seeing patients at 8:30 am and I followed her as she went about her day. Dr. Lewis encourages me to ask questions (I’ve had many!) and does not hesitate to answer them. Today our discussions included tuberculosis, the difference between a CT scan and a MRI, interferons, hepatitis, and much more. Then, I had about an hour for a lunch break. Before I had lunch, I stopped by Ms. Daniel’s office to see if she needed anything. There were some patient packets that needed to be made so I worked on putting the packets together after I ate. When the lunch break ended, I met up with Dr. Lewis and continued shadowing her until 3:30 pm. Today was a longer day than the first two, but it was no less interesting, enjoyable, or educational.
