I'm writing this a couple days late, I hope that is okay! Last Wednesday in clinic was a little rough for me. I need to make sure that I have enough sleep the night before clinic from now on. I was tired so it seemed like everything that was being said just kept bouncing off my ears instead of sinking in. I'm sure this was partially because it was a really hard PE that we learned.
We were taught the positioning and posture that we will be expected to adopt while working on a patient. Neild has some great graphics depicting the right places to be for certain sextants, but I still struggled. "Surfaces towards, hands together." "Surfaces away, hands apart." "Turn the patient away when your legs are spread the widest." (I really might have to stretch to be able to do 9 o'clock right.) It is going to take some time to master the clock positions!! At least I understand that am and pm have nothing to do with the chair positions!! HA HA Thanks Heather for bringing that up again! Blonde moment! I can't believe I had to ask that!
Besides the positioning PE we learned the maintenance PE, which is perddy simple! Oh, how I love cleaning the traps! ha ha. Kim encouraged me to get all the PE's out of the way that I could so I actually passed off 3!! It is going to be a great relief to have those done!! I was really surprised that I tackled that many! I have to remember: 1. Mask. 2. Glasses. 3. Hand scrub. 4. Gloves. I think.... uh... I'm going to go check that out!
