Today was the first-day shadowing ophthalmologists at the main Duke University Eye Center. I was nervous to be in a room filled with charismatic intelligent doctors, but I had nothing to worry about because all of them were very welcoming. Since I shadowed doctors in the clinic that meet patients one on one, I cannot write in detail about what I saw or did today to respect the hospital policies and the confidentiality form I signed. However, I did get two see two eye-opening procedures today (no pun intended). I am glad I am able to learn from dependable doctors at Duke.
