Boy am I tired.  10 hours on friday.  It's like a real job.  These renal artery dopplers are pretty hard.  especially if the patient has eaten.  This site NEVER tells the people to not eat before the exam.  Someone should get into trouble for it as I then have to bury my hand into their gut.  Not pleasant for anyone involved.

Started my ob rotation this week.  Quite a drive from my house.  It will be worth it though.  much easier to put this information together when you can put the principles to work.  did a few BPP's all of them were 8 out of 8 points.

Saw a vein of giacominni this week at the vascular site.  This is where the short saphenous vein doesn't anastomose with the popliteal but rather the greater saphenous higher up.  Was the first that I had found on my own.  It didn't reflux

I nearly have all of the hours that I need now.  1600 is the number to hit.  More important will be getting all of my check offs completed.  Sort of stressful.  only a month and a half left.  The clinical site is slow here and there, I'm sure I'll have all I need come may 10.  Got checked off on an optional interventional exam this week.  Took 15 litres off of this mans gut.

The vascular people have expressed interest in me this week.  Very exciting. they say that they are expanding and they may have a place for me.  I'll keep my fingers crossed.  Still would like to get a pool position at a hospital so I don't loose my abdominal  skills.  Very quick at doing carotids now.  Faster than some of the other techs.
