Clinical School
Hello,
The finals results were a bit delayed so I was off on holiday before they came out, which seems like a long time ago now. I passed clinical anatomy, got a 2i in my finals, had a good break over the summer and am now back in Oxford for clinical school. I came back a couple of weeks ago actually, to help with a children's holiday club and settle into my new house, but term only started this week. On Monday, we had a series of introductory lectures, and sorted out administrative things like security badges, as well as buying stethoscopes, tendon hammerds and pen torches, and collecting white coats. Yesterday we got stuck in with a morning in the clinical skills lab, where I learned to take blood, first on a model (just like at medsim!) and then on my MedEd tutor. MedEd tutors are 6th years who have chosen to so a special study module in teaching, and they're looking after us in small groups, attached to a medical firm, for the next couple of weeks. Taking blood was actually much easier on a real person, and I was qiote happy to let another student have a go on me. In the skills lab we also tested some urine and did a blood glucose test. Then in the afternoon we learned to take a medical history from a patient and then went onto the wards to practise our new history taking skills.
Today we're off to do some abdominal examinations!
