Cardiologist – Dr. Lewis

On Tuesday (5/28/22), I again visited Dr. Lewis in Lillington and shadowed her clinical practice. I learned how to take an echocardiogram. It shows multiple pictures and different angles of the heart in order to check for disorders. A common disorder is when the valves don’t close fully which results in some flow back of blood through the heart (not good).
