The two exits I mentioned in my last blog were clinic exit exams and the exit of my Nervoscope in student clinic. . . Well, almost twenty-four hours have passed so here's how everything turned out.
We got our exit scores a little later than planned because of some technical difficulties but it was nice to get them the same day. At the time we took clinical entrance exams the procedure was that you had to wait through the weekend to get your scores, so we appreciated even more the fact that Dr. McDowell-Reizer worked to get them to us that day. And the results are that I passed and don't really have to take any more major tests at Sherman ever again!!!!
As far as the exit of the Nervoscope without legs is concerned, it was found by God's gift to all Sherman College interns, Shirlene Burnsed (pictured below). Shirlene is the front desk Coordinator in the clinic and most of us, like my Nervoscope, would be totally lost without her. Over the past few years she has demonstrated to me how important it is to have hard-working, smiling people at the front desk and what a difference that makes in how your patients interact with you. She found the scope in the ready room and locked it up overnight for me so it would still be there the next day, thus giving me yet another reason to be thankful for her service to the college and those of us who are interns. Once you get in clinic and have your own patients you will know exactly what I'm talking about and why we appreciate her so much.
Congrats on passing your exit exams! :)
