Internal Medicine

Today I was welcomed by Dr. Welcome!

Since I like observing internal med/family med, I really enjoyed my time here. Dr. Welcome only had about 5 patients today since they close at 12 on Fridays. One of those patients did his appointment through telehealth. He was in is early 90's and does struggle with technology. After about ten minutes of trying to video chat him, Dr. Welcome decided to just call him since that was easier. So, that was what we did! It was sad to see that he was not able to come in and that rather he had to do his appointment over the phone. He was not comfortable over the phone and was very anxious to use technology.

About two of the patients suffered from Diabetes and Dr. Welcome went through some factors that they can improve on to lower their blood sugar. Similar to Dr. Chilcote, Dr. Welcome advised them to eat healthier and She also went over how important exercise, like a simple walk can be.

I was able to leave around 11:30 today!
