Rotation 3: week 2

This week was more of the same with a few surprises thrown in. Lots of otitis media and swimmer's ear. Lots of URI's and strep throat. But I also got a chance to see my first case of herpangina. We also had a 16 year-old come in after sustaining a concussion, and a young girl came in and was diagnosed with an avulsion fracture of her right hip.

Unfortunately, it doesn't get much more exciting that that. The majority of my day is spent doing sports physicals. We are easily doing about 15 - 20 physicals a day, with sick visits and well check visits squeezed in between. Other than that, I try to stay on top of reading. As my former preceptor says, "Students can always read more." How right he is!
