Today was a slightly shorter day since Dr. Lawal had a meeting. I have slowly adjusted to the routine that they have in his office and I am finally able to find my way around the hospital myself (it’s like a maze). As Dr. Lawal had less procedures, I was able to see first-hand the less “fun” parts of the job: desk work. I learned the different tasks that needed to be completed by the doctor, whether it is discharging patients or setting them up for future procedures. Additionally, as Dr. Lawal had to interview a potential job candidate, I was able to meet other doctors at WakeMed. For instance, I met a doctor who focuses on imaging lungs. He specifically tackles lymph nodes around the lungs and tests for the potential for cancer. That was very interesting! Tomorrow, Dr. Lawal is off work, so I will see if I can work with another doctor or take the day off.
