Day 5: Back with Dr. Bryant

Fridays for MS1 students aren't that interesting. They have a mentor meetings where 2 MS1 students, 2 MS2 students, some MS3-4 (in honestly don't remember the number of MS 3&4 students) along with two overseeing doctors meet and discuss the joys and pains of medical school. The point of group is form support groups for each medical students no matter what year they are. Afterward they have Microbiology and Physiology lectures and classes end for them at 2pm.

 So, I did some shadowing with Dr. Bryant and Dr. Joyce. Dr. Bryant includes obstertrics in her practice so I met her at St. Vincent's Women's Hospital as she made her rounds.  One mother was concerned about her baby spitting the up blood constantly. Dr. Bryant reassured the mother that this was normal for babies who had gone through vaginal birth with vacuum assistance. 



If you look closely, you can see the umbilical cord!

 After rounds, I got to shadow Family Physician Dr. Joyce until lunch. Afterward I shadowed some Family Practice residence. However, since I don't offically shadow residencies until next week. I'll give you more information on my shadowings next week. Keep following!!!

Quote of the day: " I liked doing everything....I have colleageus who ask me questions related to primary care such as pediatrics because their speciality doesn't require them to know it. As a Family Physician I know a little of everything"--From Dr. Joyce on why she became a Family Practice Physician
