Ending the week on a high note!

A pretty cap to start the weekend!

An excellent day at work, which ended with me finding my stethoscope, and thus kicked off an excellent start for the weekend. Really, I don't appreciate how much I use the stethoscope everyday until I don't have it anymore. At the same time, I started to appreciate how little I actually would really needed it during a normal day when nothing goes wrong.
Working with an interested medical student is so nice. I remember being in their shoes, and just really wanted to be acknowledged and shown things. I tried to make my former self proud today, and I think I did an OK job. She seems to be having a good time, and definitely got exposed to stuff she hasn't seen before. I also gained an appreciation for how difficult it is to be an effective teacher. It's really hard to ask questions in a way to stimulate thinking, and not in such a way that just requires regurgitation of facts. Having a student also forces me to re-examine how well I know some of the basic topics, because in order to teach them, I have to know them really well off by heart first!
