Two Weeks Down...

... only 29 to go!

I have officially completed my first rotation (minus the meeting with my DI director).  My first rotation was clinical, and I can honestly say that I learned a lot.  Here are a few examples:

• arachnoiditis has nothing to do with spiders.  Go figure...
• more patients have stage IV wounds than I would have ever imagined.
• Patients with encephalopathy are very much like Mr. FD after a few glasses of scotch. 

I also learned that there is often minimal communication between dietitians and other health care professionals, and doctors don't always utilized RDs as the valuable resource that they are...  C'est la vie.

Up next...  outpatient diabetes center.  But first, a meeting with my internship director.

Happy Friday!
