It was the Tuesday that felt like a Monday. I guess since yesterday wasn't that busy, today decided to make up for it.
Today I learned that it's important to communicate your expectations. A patient called and said that he was unhappy with the service that he received at his appointment in June, and wanted to switch healthcare providers. In the end, it turned out that there was just a miscommunication about what the doctor thought was important, and what the patient wanted at the time. Tiffs like this can also be easily cleared up by swallowing your pride and apologizing, and doing what it takes to right the wrong.
I also got to do direct ophthalmoscopy on one patient with diabetes who presented with a vitreous hemorrhage OD, just to get an idea of what the view looks like through a cloudy vitreous -- really shoddy.
Today's homework: pre-retinal and vitreous hemorrhages, prognosis, treatments; diabetic retinopathy
Work days left: 13
