I am currently a Class of 2016 medical student at the Florida International University College of Medicine. I grew up in South Florida, ventured to New Orleans, LA to attend college at Tulane University, and am enjoying my time back in Florida. I am intending to pursue a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Her story started pretty similarly to any other patient I had over the past week and a half since starting my family medicine rotation. The nurse told me she had another patient who was checking in. I asked her for the name and began looking up the previous clinical notes and labs in the computer while waiting for her arrival from registration. She had a history of arthritis, GERD and uncontrolled diabetes — all diagnoses I had become comfortable discussing with patients.
