Today at Dr. Mangelsdorf’s clinic I was able to witness more skin checks and then an exciting surgery towards the end of the day where my fellow intern Hannah and I wore surgery gowns. It was a typical 7:45 start and I saw a moderate amount of patients this morning. I saw more cryotherapy (the act of spraying liquid nitrogen to freeze off moles) being done on some benign seborrheic keratoses (moles). Later on in the afternoon, I got suited up to witness a basal cell being removed. It was a little bit intense and super cool. I also got to learn a lot more about parapsoriasis, urticaria (hives), atopic dermatitis (eczema) and all the other different medical names for everyday skin conditions. We also had lunch today at work so that was fun being able to talk to everyone and eat lunch with Hannah and Cristina who joined us! Overall, it was another full day of learning from Dr. Mangelsdorf, the modules from the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), and the medical assistants/nurses.
