URGENT Mrs. SHERRICK LOOK! blog MARCH 31, 2011

Oral surgery is starting to become repetitive.  Dr. E has been on vacation for about 2 weeks and lately ive been doing mundane tasks.  There's a lot of filing but I also have been able to squeeze in time for the gastroenterology department as well.  While over there I am exposed to a better learning environment because they actually have the time to teach me things.[A]  I learned yesterday about rectal bleeding and how dark blackish tar like stools may result in the upper colon severely bleeding.  However if stool have a light colored blood then it is the lower half of the large intestine that is damaged.[D]  Besides all the learning ive mainly been doing office work and checking up on patients that come by for a follow up check on a surgery done to them weeks ago.  I feel like I want to be more exposed with gastroenterology and I may see myself having a future in that medical field.[E]  However I have heard that GI is a very competitive field of study hopefully I am up for the challenge.
