Clinicals Started

Nothing much has been going on, my dogs a buttface and doesnt listen well enough. But we are working on it. Work has been slow and stupid, so no news there. I was also off school for a week and it was nice but of course got me out of my routine. Then I had my scope and it came back that I have gastritis, which I figured, but I have to do a stupid OTC trial before they will give me any actually medicine. That makes me really mad because I did that before the scope and if it had worked I wouldnt have had to go have the scope, but insurance companies as crap and so I am stuck for another couple weeks in pain.
I did start clinicals this week, so far I have only gone on Tuesday and it was fun. Definitely really weird though. My clinical instructor, CI, is sick so I think she wasnt quite herself the first day. She didnt really know what as a first year I was supposed to and wasnt supposed to do. I got to do a lot of things and get a lot of great experience. I think that I will be able to do a chest xray and KUB and even hands and get a checkoff on them by the end of next week. Then I can start on some of the harder things we have learned. The only things I am not a 100% on is the techniques but I know the positions really well. I am getting to see some of the spine positions and other things like that before we even do it in class which is good. Although when we have down time I dont really know what I am supposed to do and it makes me feel bad/useless. I am hoping that tomorrow is even better than Tuesday. Wish me luck!
