This week was pretty uneventful at Craven. I attended Rehab rounds earlier during the week. They talked about each patient and how they were doing and what to focus on with them for the day. I have been doing a fair number of diabetes educations and heart healthy ones, but not any other kinds yet. Other kinds just don't come up too much (renal, low residue, etc.) I educated a 18 y/o male who came in with severe DKA on diabetes, new onset. He was very brooding and wouldn't talk to anyone, even the nurses. So I just mostly talked to his family, they were nice and seemed very interested. Turns out he hadn't been eating lunch ever, even though his mom gives him money every day so I think there might be some family drama there.

I've started following my own patients now, which is exciting. It's nice to be able to see the same patients over and over and get to know them more. I'm still working on finding a case study though..time is running out! I have a few in mind at least.
