Rotations+week+of+9-12

Monday: I saw a Lexiscan which is a stress test. This was interesting because I got to go down to nuclear medicine and see the scanner with the screen showing the radiation. I got to also see previous scans of like gall bladders, full skeleton, and lungs. After the scan, I looked over the patient by giving her food and making her comfortable. The only other thing I did was reposition a patient.

Thursday: There wasn't alot going on because patients were being discharged and there wern't many patients. One of them had gone down to the cath-lab to get a stint in and when he came back we set up everything and gave the patient medication and food. One medication was to protect the kidneys from the iodine going through the system. The nurse said it was like a shot of rotten-egg vodka:)
