Have I mentioned yet how hectic 7th tri is? Wow. It's like I'm trying to juggle a full-time job (clinic) and a full-time class schedule. Yesterday I had to be two places at the same time. I had to deliver a radiology review on some x-rays I took Tuesday night. When you take films, it's an iron-clad rule that you write a report and present your findings either the same or the next day. This is very important as there is a patient waiting to find out what the x-ray results are. Patient care always comes first. Well, I took the films right before close so that meant I needed to report the next day. there's two times you can present, morning (9:30) or afternoon (3:00). I didn't dare sign up for the morning, as I wouldn't even have access to the films to review them and write my report until 8am. It was my first rad review, and I wanted time to do properly prepare. So I signed up for the 3pm time, which is when I'm supposed to be in Clinical Methods. So I missed Clinic, and you can only miss twice, 3X and you have to repeat the course the next tri, which means graduate a tri later. Hopefully nothing comes up again this tri!

Well turns out I wrote my report wrong, based on the type of films I took. So I was told to redo my report and present the next day. I did that today, and it went much better! He could have made me do what's called a case study, where you do a big research paper and presentation on a specific radiology finding. You have to complete 10 of these anyway, but I didn't feel like that being lumped on my plate with everything else going on, and Part II and PT boards fast approching next month...

Oh! Gotta get to Tech Review class! Practical exam tomorrow!
