This week I got to work with the medical assistants again and I got to take a patient's vitals before the MA took them back to their room to wait for the doctor. I worked in Infusion again as well and I got to take vitals and talk to patients and try to make their stay there a little more comfortable. I tried to help them focus on something else besides the treatment they may be getting or any pain they're currently feeling. It works for some which makes me feel good. It makes me feel like I'm doing something helpful at least because I can't do much since I am a minor and not certified in treating patients or practicing medicine. Yet. The character I pick for this blog entry would be Pocahontas and her quote that says "how high does a sycamore grow? If you cut it down, you'll never know." I like this quote because I tend to ask a lot of what if questions or questions that deal with a lot of possible outcomes and sometimes I do give up on certain things and never find out what those possible outcomes are. I cut the idea down before I can see what exactly it'll become and let it "grow." It's something I'm working on because I don't want to keep giving things up. I want to see what the outcome is. The outcome may be better than what I originally assumed. I'll place this quote right next to my bedroom door so I can always see it before I head out for whatever activity I'm getting ready to pursue.
