Today was our first day at in the hospital. We arrived to the clinic at 7:45 AM to a full waiting room. We quickly oriented to the new EMR on site and started to see our full patient schedule for the day. Many of the patients were surgical candidates, and we even operated on 3 of them today! We took turns seeing patients, setting up the OR, and operating, with just enough time to find a lunch plate in between.
We were able to use our new audiometry application Shoebox Audiology in a quiet room. We haven't had the ability to perform audiometry here before, so we were excited to embark on this new clinical adventure. We had to find a makeshift sound proof room, aka La Bodega, and were successfully able to perform an air conduction hearing test.
The theme of the day of thyroids and cleft lip and palates. We saw everyone from a 2.5 year old girl with a thyroglossal duct cyst to a 50 year old with 10 year history of growing thyroid nodules that now happen to be the size of multiple baseballs.
After a quick return to the dorms for dinner, we checked on our first surgical patients today. Our little 7 month old cleft lip repair was chugging away at his milk bottle. He looked mighty cute.
We are thankful for another successful day and hope for positive outcomes for all of our patients!
