A small update on life
So here's a bunch of things I learned this semester, as a medical student.
1) How to interview a patient, take down his/her history (and not fumble too much)
2) How to diagnose/recognize a variety of disease types, such as skin, cancer, autoimmune, musculoskeletal, strokes, neuropathy, etc. etc.
3) How to properly use an opthalmoscope, otoscope, blood-pressure cuff, sthetoscope, tuning fork, tongue depressor, etc.
4) How to inspect, palpate, percuss and auscultate a patient during a physical exam.
5) How to get ready for the USMLE Step 1 (Boards) examination.
6) How to drive (yes, really, my first adventure on a highway was just yesterday).
And here's an (incomplete, but accurate) list of what I'll be doing on the 1st week of next semester.
A) How to do a prostate exam
B) How to do a pelvic exam
Any questions?
