Barf On Typhon.

Today my preceptor's only surgery was at a hospital that I am not allowed to accompany him to.

DARN.

Instead, I slept in until 9:30am and was completely lazy for about 4 hours.

For the last 1.5 hours I've been catching up on Typhon (the program in which we are required to log the demographics, diagnoses and treatment of EVERY patient we see - super time consuming). Add this to the 3+ hours I spent logging patients yesterday and I'm almost caught up.

Got good news about my next rotation. My preceptor works at a different clinic on Mondays and Wednesday afternoons....initially I was going to work with his colleague at the health dept. on these days, but she apparently decided she was too busy to take on a student. Since the other clinic my preceptor goes to is one of those big HMO deals, it was unlikely that I would be able to accompany him because they generally require tons of notice before they will allow a student through their doors. Thanks to the magic of the Pacific PA program clinical team, however, they are speeding up the process for me and I will be able to stay with my preceptor, rather than having my rotation go belly-up just 2 weeks before it began. WAHOO!!!!!

So now I will be doing 70% HIV care, and 30% mixed family practice/urgent care. Sounds fantastic to me --- I'm just glad his other practice wasn't surgery ;)
