Day 2 – More Procedures

As Dr. Lawal is focused on procedures this week, we had another day filled with procedures. At 8:00 a.m. I showed up at his office where we briefly covered the first patient of the day. Then, he consulted with the patient before we headed to the endoscopy room. Over the course of the day, there was less variety in the procedures done; however, I was still able to learn a lot under Dr. Lawal’s mentorship. I have gained a greater understanding of the medical vocabulary and spotting certain phenomena on the camera footage. For instance, today, I learned about liver cirrhosis and its potential effects on other organs of the body. At the end of the day, we consulted with patients in the “clinic”. This resembles a more typical visit to the doctor. Tomorrow should be another packed day with several procedures. I am excited to see what’: in store for me tomorrow.
