I finally received my Duke badge today, and thankfully, the line was not long at long. With my badge, I look less of a intruder and it is easier to walk through the underground passage. Unlike the previous days, I saw the patient process through the eyes of the technicians before the patients reach the doctors. I learned through Cheryl, the most experienced technician, that patients become your family. It is really heart warming to see her interaction with numerous patients and their family members. Later in the day, I was able to see two yag laser done. Through protective lens, I saw the cloudy membrane within the eye blasted apart by the red laser. I learned that minor procedures such as the yag laser and inserting air bubbles can be done in the clinic. However, the more complex procedures such as cornea transplant has to be done in the OR. I had the most wholesome experience today.
