Emergency Department Shadowed an attending physician on several occasions Watched his team attempt to resuscitate a patient Observed inside the small room while his team put a chest tube into a patient with a collapsed lung Saw him do an ultrasound on a patient Watched as he dealt with a violent patient refusing to take medicine to calm down Looked on as another doctor put a dislocated shoulder back into place Shadowed a resident Watched him test the pressure of a 94 year old woman’s eye Shadowed a nurse
Lessons Learned Good communication is invaluable Organization makes almost everything easier Not everyone responds to change the same way “If it’s not broken, [you] don’t [have to] fix it”… but you can probably improve it
