Well, it was a pretty busy week back. I have gotten more used to the flow of the hospital and have gotten a chance to watch a lot of exams. I have also had a chance to to start some of the exams such as the carotid and renals. I have gotten kind of comfortable with all the transverse images. Now I need to focus more on clearing up the picture and getting the vessels as clear as I can. I have had some trouble with the kidneys. We have discovered that I am not pushing hard enough. I need to start working on applying more pressure and realizing that if it is really too hard the patients will definitely let me know.
Poor Janet has had a lot going on recently, but I was able to follow her around a whole day this week. She is very helpful and great at explaining things. She took me through a most of a carotid exam including the black/white, color and doppler images required for the protocol. It is a bit rough remember all the buttons and stuff that you have to push in order to take the pictures. Janet makes it seem so easy until she lets go of my hand and I lose the place she was.
I am very glad that everyone at the hospital has been so helpful and patient.
