Day 8 – Clinical rotation at Programa Medicia Clinica.

Today was kind of the same as yesterday. We sat in on consultations performed by a doctor at the Programa Medicia Clinica office. One of the patients was an elderly woman who had fallen off of a bike and hurt her tailbone. She had a family history of and suffered from hypertension and diabetes. The doctor checked her blood glucose levels and administered insulin. She also checked her blood pressure in regards to monitoring for hypertension. We had a chance to ask medical Spanish questions to different patients during the consultations like we did the day before. All the patients were willing participants and very nice people.

This is the clinic that we have been at for the past three days.

One thing that I always have to remember with nursing is – Treat every patient with respect and dignity.

Favorite Spanish sentence of the day – Compra un bosque y pierdete!! This is a funny little saying in Mexico, kind of like the ones we have in the States. Buy a forest and get lost!!
