Preceptorship 1

just so i don't forget...

plantar fascitis
sprained ankle (protocol of ?s to ask before recommending x-ray - Ottawa Ankle something)
cold sores on nose - form of herpes, not zoster
coccyx pain
tinnitis, recommendations for hearing aid
back/leg pain

the docs i shadowed were very.....quick. the main one i shadowed was pretty good at making the patients comfortable, getting updates on their lives before diving into the medicine. next time i'll try interviewing patients. kaiser just seems like a more time-conscious place compared to the clincs, obviously, so it's something to get used to. but the dictation toys are pretty neat. no need to write!
