Saw a neat gall bladder this week.  He had adenomyomatosis.  Had the comet tail artifact.  In class we spoke about how the porcelain gall bladder can mask a tumofactive sludge.  Guess that is what CT is for.  Kind of slow for gyn/ob exams this week.  One lady was middle eastern so she didn't want me to be a part of the exam.  Still doing the vascular rotation.  getting more comfortable with the legs but still need more time on them.

Yet more pelvic exams this week.  i hope to get my check offs completed very soon as I am nearing the end.  The doctors seem to trust my opinion more and more as time goes on.  The exception is one who introduced himself to me again this week even though I have spoken with him several times prior.  My CI seems to want more and more exams before he checks me off.  somewhat worrisome.

I did 3 pelvic exams this week. did the endo vaginal portion too.  Felt pretty good.  We have a new 2nd shift tech who is a much better teacher than the others.  She has given me some good tips.  I find the ovaries much easier now.  I should have an OB rotation within a few more weeks.  Looking forward to learning/gaining more experience in that arena too!

Super slow week this time.  One of the new employees that just started ended up quitting.  Then a full time employee fell and hurt both knees again.  She'll be out for 5 more weeks.  Boss isn't very happy.  Maybe by the time I am ready to go these people will be ready to give up a spot for me.  In addition another private company has expressed interest in me.  So hopefully between the two entities I might have full time hours.
