My Work Without Pay

Behold, this is the Kolff Dialysis Center where I am doing my first rotation! I am working with a pharmacist here and basically we go to talk to the patients while they are having dialysis and go over their medications with them, then we make sure that there aren't any problems with the doses or if they need any additional medications, and we make notes of that in their chart. I also have to do research and read alot of scientific papers and do presentations. It is pretty fun though, I like it. It is fun to actually be doing something with all the information I've learned. The only bad part is that dialysis involves alot of blood and needles, and you know how I hate blood and needles!! (For anyone who doesn't know, I tend to pass out easily at the sight). The first time I talked to a patient hooked up to the machine it grossed me out... but luckily I haven't passed out yet.

Wahooooooo

Ha ha! I think I just beat out Alvey's record for longest time not updating the blog... sorry! I do have some new pictures- these are of a trip I took with my dad down to Moab a couple of weeks ago during my free week between the end of classes and starting my pharmacy rotations. We had a great time on the Slickrock "practice" trail. This picture is of me about to do a faceplant into the sand.... just kidding, luckily I didn't --though I almost did.
