Ready Set GO!

Well yal, its almost time for externship. U of U hospital let me come in for a "Test/Preview" day last week and right off the bat I was quizzed about views and anatomy. I thought that I was just going to be signing some paperwork, but little did I know I would actually be watching some exams (good thing I showed up in scrubs). My first exam was my first pediatric exam. I was so sad when we found the baby had 2 VSDs. A little hint to keep babies cooperative during an exam, ask the nurse for glucose and a binkie. It comes in a little syringe and just dab it on the binkie and it puts them straight to sleep. AMAZING :)

I think im going to like extern and Salt Lake City!
PS: My apartment complex has a POOL and HOT TUB :)
