Day 5: Multitasking sprinkled with Anxiety

I know things are getting bad when there are crying spells even when I workout. I had two episodes before I gave up the exercise. Anxiety’s been really hitting me hard but I won’t let it mess up my productivity. (I know I should let myself feel all the things that I need to feel but the weekend’s almost here and I still have things to finish. My feelings need to wait.)

Despite having a mundane day, I still manage to finish this head and neck stuff. So there’s that win at least.

Trivia:

Did you know there are usually only 2 thyroid arteries (superior and inferior)? But 10% of people would have a 3rd one. It’s call your thyroid Ima artery!

After thyroidectomy (removal of the thyroid gland) if the patient develop hoarseness of voice it would probably be due to a nerve injury that happen during the surgery. The nerve is called recurrent laryngeal nerve and it is a branch from the Vagus nerve (Cranial nerve X).

Y’all have a nice day! Stay productive and sane!

Block 6 is off to an... interesting start. The first thing we did this morning was the same as every first anatomy lab of the block, we removed the skin in the area of the dissection. Except this block is HEENT, so this involved effectively slicing a mans face off. I was in the locker room crying within 5 minutes. I spent the rest of lab learning the minutia of a skull I signed out while the rest of my table did the dissection. Luckily I had taken endocrinology in undergrad so I actually did well on today's quiz despite it being quite difficult. Then we had some long hours of lecture after which I went to go grab the skull that I had accidentally left in anatomy lab... and it was gone. So now I'm terrified of getting kicked out of medical school for losing human remains... But then I went to a care of the underserved scholars meeting where we got to learn all about std testing and clinics and talking about sex. It was nice but then I got super lost on my way home because I ran out of data and can't buy more data without data or wifi. Of course. So now I'm home and it's bedtime and I've done zero homework. Yay.

PA School - S2W3: Stress Test HEENT

This week will likely be stressful... thr first week of real stress in my program. 

Monday morning: "checkoffs" for HEENT exam.  We have 20min to properly and efficiently complete each part of the physical exam for the head eyes ears nose throat neck lymph nodes and sinuses on a classmate patient.

Wednesday: My first OSCE - over HEENT of course. We walk in to the exam room and are given the patient s chart containing their vitals and chief complaint. We must gather the correct history perform the correct physical exam, diagnose the patient and offer appropriate treatment methods, meds and education.  Then go to the next room and write a SOAP note.

Friday: Written final exam for HEENT.

Whew its gonba be a lot - last week my study habits were sub par and a busy weekend didn't quite let me catch up. Never again!!

Cheers
