Today was alright.
8am Gym
10am Learning about what sort of info you need to get out of a patients history of presenting conditions
12pm A really good lunch with my team from the previous class
2pm Taking a drug and seeing what it does to orthostatic blood pressure (when you stand up after lying down)
6pm Older med students teach immunology
7pm Eat dinner at my parents shop
I slept really poorly last night. I tried to play the Spotify playlist titled sleep and didn't check my phone or play a YouTube video in the background to get to sleep. Honestly, I was probably awake for an hour trying to tumble myself out of my thoughts. I'm still confused whether I'm thinking too much or not at all. Its like my body needs to rest but my brain is not yet really to give itself up.
Tomorrow is my psych session, so hopefully I get lots out of it. I've decided to write a list of things I'd like to talk about, after realising today how difficult it is to even get the information out of a patient. Reflectively, I've realised I don't ever mention all the symptoms I feel, and this actually worries me. I'm worried that my future patients won't detail all the symptoms they experience, and when I ask for the other symptoms they have noticed (which according to my tutor is probably the most important cardinal symptom), they will smile and say no even though they experience a myriad of other complications which occur infrequently enough to forget.
I have a lot to practice on tonight, and things to study for, so my loneliness and weird control stuff feel less overbearing.
Distractions however, arent a solution to my continuous anxiety.
Do the right thing. Do the thing right.
