Well tomorrow, is my last day of the two year journey of school .. i just got done writing my final paper and thought i would share ....thank you This month of externship has been a roller coaster of experiences as well as emotions. Getting to the point of going out on externship is a long and challenging roller coaster itself. It takes two long years to get to the point of being allowed the privilege to be able to have a hands on real look into the medical filed. The two years I have gotten to go to Brown Mackie I have made many friends along the way. This road has not been easy and there has been many times I have wanted to give up and walk away, but I havent. Due to that fact I have gotten to the point of going to work for a month with a wonderful Pain Management Doctor. That has taught me and guided me in ways I did not know I wanted to go. So I am going to give you a look back over my month, then I will take you even father back into the past two years to be able to bring you to the point I am at today and show you the plan for my future. The night before the big day of starting this month full of new things I was nervous as well as a little upset I was not going where I was wanting to go. The school was unable to place me with the company I have had my heart set on for years. That company is one that handled my mothers treatment for many years. As well as looking forward to working for them as well. SO to be able to help you better understand it is easier. Think about it like this, a snow ball if started out small and packed up tight and sent rolling down a hill. Can grow into to something out of control. Well thank goodness this snow ball was caught before it had gotten out of control. This snow ball a.k.a my brain was guide back to the path it need to be on as well as guided to where it would become something that would be the base of an amazing snowman. Once I changed my way of thinking and opened myself back up to learn things it took a turn for the better. The first two days I let my heart get a hold of my head and cause me to have a closed mind that I should not have had. Due to this fact I had a very bad start to this whole month. I want to throw my hands up and give up yet again but, one of the most amazing women I have met at school. Looked me in the face and said you can hang in there , and change your way of thinking , Right? I then took a step back as I walked down the hall from her office and returned back to the doctors office for the day. When I got there and took a new look at the day and went home determined to start the next day off better. This is where my month took a turn from bad to amazing. I have always had a closed mind on pain management and what it was about. Working at this office has changed my mind on the subject in many ways. Pain management is not about just giving the person the stuff they want to make them happy. It is much more then that in many ways. Pain management is more about education on long term pain and how to make it better. so that they can live a normal life as best as they can. While there is no cure all for pain like people like to think, there really not. It takes time to find just the right combination of medications or even non medications that work for the type of pain. Every person is different this being said their bodes work different from someone else. Yes, we may have a baseline of what should be going on in a human body each one of us is made different. I have gotten to see over the past month of how this happens on a personal level of the people I have gotten to take care of .I have also gotten to help with taking the time to get to know the person and their life so that we can figure out what works best for their life. The doctor is one of the few I have seen take the time to sit down and get to know the people he is taking care of. He is one of the few doctors that do not see a person as a dollar sign. This touches my heart deeply because this is the reason I am going into this field. I have gotten to have a rare glance into this doctors thinking. He has allowed me to watch him and has even taken the time to show me the different ways. He has taken the time to talk to and teach me how different types of medications works with different types of illness. He has taken the time to show me how different types of injections work for different parts of the body. Yes, there is the office side to all this as well , and he has even to take the time to have the best he can in that way as well. His office stays very busy and we find little down time but not because he wants the money. The reason why his office stays so busy is because the people he takes care have improved and want to come back . As well as we gets tons of calls a day asking us. If we have got the paper work for another new patient to come see him. The days are full of people that come in wanting to be out of pain and for someone to really take the time to talk with them. I have also got to learn the computer system in his office as well. Even had the chance to step up and open the office. This is where I also like working in the office and may go back to school just to learn more about how to run an office as well as getting my Nursing degree, Wow one day at a time. Working in the medical filed is amazing and can really change your life for the better in many way as well as other peoples lives. Another thing I have really enjoyed that he takes the time to make sure that his patients are educated as much as they possibly can be. On everything they can be on. Everything from sleep to eating well not to mention how to take care of the medications they take. This is a very big part of being a medical assistant is to educate,educate and educate. I have even had the chance to talk to him on his past medical carer that has brought him to where he is today. Now, I am going to take a small glance back into the two years it took to get to today itself. I have lost lots of things as well as I have also gained things. I have never been good at school and I even dropped of of school and only have a GED when I started this journey two years ago. So just going to school with in itself was a big step. So all of you reading this that think you cant go back to school because you dropped out,you can. I have also suffered loss of loved ones along the way . This would stop most people but, I could not give up it would be in vain due to the fact that the loved ones I have lost has only wanted me to make this all the way till the end. As I have taken you into my small part of my past and brought you today , I am going to give you a small glance ahead. I am no where near the end of my education just this month has opened my mind to far more that I would like to do in my life. I want to learn everything I can on the Human body. The Human body is such a fascinating thing that it is always changing. My goal is to learn more about pain management as well as learn more about the inner workings of running an office. I want to go back to school and get my bachelors degree in nursing. I will also maybe even get a business degree as well or partner with a person who does. I would love to open my own business that takes a approach of taking care of the whole body. I mean why not if a person can open a cancer treatment place that can do it. Then why, could I not open my own treatment place that treats far more then cancer. Do you see that snowman I told you about,Because I do.
