https://padlet.com/PooPooKachoo/7fwjhmuvk4x5 documenting my shadowing experience as a pre-medical student, as unto the Lord. en-us 2017-06-24 08:12:36 UTC 2017-06-24 08:34:10 UTC hello@padlet.com PooPooKachoo https://padlet.com/PooPooKachoo/7fwjhmuvk4x5/wish/177335871 I was right in not knowing what to expect. The pediatric ward was at the tail-end of departments I wanted to be in yetttttt...there I stood, beside his mother with nervous eyes that lit up when the attending physician (who I am shadowing) told her, "He's stable."  
The room was cold but the entire lower half of my face was dripping in sweat and my glasses kept fogging--I hate masks. The other girl I'm shadowing with totally knew more than I did; I wish I was as confident as her, too..
My hands hurt after that first round from all the note-taking. I can't help but feel proud though...All the things I don't understand now, and will soon!!!  There's no expediting, or taking the easy way out with this...the cost of a mistake could be a person's life. 
I can't stop thinking of the patient. Septic Shock. A preventable cold-blooded killer...I couldn't sleep. I wonder how my doctor feels; She hadn't been home in two days.

I've got to study now. My lack in diligence could be costly, one day. I want to save lives and not endanger them. now, for the part i'm still trying to figure out: How can i cast away the darkness as His Light in a place where life and death hang on a thread? I might be able to save the physical body, but there's only one Savior of the soul.
