Today was the last day of my first week working here at Waverly Hematology Oncology. It was a fairly relaxed day. I only saw a few patients today because at 10AM Dr. Graham had to catch a flight to Chicago. Before he left he told me what kinds of things would be discussed at the medical conference that I will be attending Tuesday morning (concerning AR).
Once Dr. Graham left, I saw a few patients with Mrs. Blumenthal. The first patient had some knee problems and Mrs. Blumenthal explained the process of receiving elective surgery. Another patient was very young (21) and was suffering from blood clots in her lungs. The patients were pretty spread out today so I had a lot of downtime. I used this time to go around the clinic asking different people what they did. I had more interactions with another pharmacy technician, some nurses, and some administrative figures.
I’m glad to have taken a break from all the emotional cases I was exposed to for the past few days. I will be reviewing the notes I took on AR during her bone marrow biopsy and X-ray examination in order to be well-prepared for the medical conference at REX Cancer Center on Tuesday!
