Clinic day

Thursdays are always a little different on the Vascular service. We round in the mornings as usual, but then we are in clinic for the rest of the day seeing outpatients who get referred to us. It's a nice change of pace and we're interviewing patients more in the sense to what I'm used to. I'm also learning a lot about how you evaluate patients for candidates for surgery or what not. Most of my patients that I saw today ended up not needing surgery, although it's likely they will in the future. It was actually a short day as we had to get back to school early for some tests in Radiology and Pathology. Now I just have some errands to do before cooking some dinner and catching up on some reading tonight. Carotid Endarterectomy studies from the New England Journal of Medicine will probably be some highly entertaining bedtime reading let me tell ya!
