Today was pretty slow in the morning, and I went about doing the same routine as the previous two weeks, taking vitals of the patients. It was quite a bit slower this morning compared to last week, so there was a lot more down time.
I learned about running labs since I had extra time this morning and what copies and signatures are required on certain forms. I also met more of the doctors that volunteer regularly at the clinic as well as the one doctor that is paid and on staff four days a week.
The most prevalent conditions were still the same as previous weeks, but we did see more orthopedic patients with back pains today. Otherwise, patients were mostly diabetics.
I did get a response back from Eric Roland of Legacy Clinic. He said that if I was still interested, I could go by their clinic on Montrose and fill out a volunteer application, and he'll review applications after May 3rd when he gets back into his office. I believe I'm still interested in volunteering there to give me a change of pace and some more new experiences in health care, specifically working with HIV/AIDS patients.
