I am really excited that the second week of my internship has begun. This morning I was in clinic with Dr. Scott at Durango Orthopedics. This was a useful experience because it gave me an idea of how the docs go through the diagnosis process, and also taught me some things about the human body. Dr. Scott is also pediatric certified, and one of the cases was a five year old little girl. I am interested in going into pediatrics, so this showed me how an orthopedist can be involved in pediatrics. In the afternoon I was in surgery with Dr. Anderson, and like all surgery, it was exciting to watch. The previous surgery I saw was a full hip replacement, and these surgeries today were “mild” operations on the hand/wrist. So today wasn’t near as gruesome, but of course I still learned things while watching and enjoyed it all the same.
