Daily Happenings

It seems like just about everybody in my classes is sick. I have been trying to fend some bug off for weeks but it seems to have caught up with me the past few days. In fact, I cut all of my classes today and slept. It took all of my energy to get up at 1:00 and go to the clinic to take care of one of my patients. Although I love taking care of my patients, it is just no fun when you are not feeling well.

It seems as though I have been at the clinic non-stop trying to start up one of my new patients. At Sherman, in order to adjust, you have to get in a spinal exam, a physical exam, x-rays if necessary, and then meet with the case doctor so we can determine a plan of care for our patients. With this being the case, I performed a spinal exam yesterday, and today we went through with a physical exam and spinal check. Tomorrow, we will take x-rays and get in one more spinal check. I am hoping to have all of these x-rays analyzed and make an appointment with the case doctor by early next week so that I can adjust. This doesn't sound like a lengthy process, but there is actually much paperwork and red tape necessary before an actual adjustment. hopefully I will get in a good nights sleep so that I am not feeling so badly tomorrow and I will have more energy for my patients.
