What a long quarter at school we had! Outpatient clinic proved to be 'not nice' to me and I really struggled with my advisor, scheduling and just getting my numbers. We only have to get 20 adjustments in this quarter, which doesn't sound too hard, but with scheduling conflicts, class issues and patient's non compliance, it was really a struggle. My advisor and I tend to butt heads pretty bad, and what I thought would be a great learning experience with her , has turned into complete hell! My patients, despite their lack of compliance and their skipping appointments were great. I met an amazing older gentleman who really changed so many things in my life! He ended up having to have a major spinal stenosis surgery and so I won't be seeing him as my patient due to his recovery time. I managed to get my very last adjustment at 6:45pm or so on Friday night and officially finished up the 10th quarter clinic requirements. Thank goodness!!!!
Tim took OSCE this quarter and had to retake Full Spine and Radiology, but completed both of them and will be joining me in outpatient clinic when we get back to school in July.
We both passed all our classes and I'm HAPPY to say "I'M DONE WITH DR. FOX!!!!" I don't think I've passed any of his classes with higher than a 72%, but I passed, and I'm DONE!! Next quarter should be a pretty good one for me and hopefully one I'll enjoy. Tim still has a few rough quarters ahead, but he's motivated and ready.
While we are here in Michigan for break, we are going to spend some time trying to narrow down where we want to practice. We've really struggled between staying near Detroit or going to the west side of the state (Muskegon area) but I'll write about that in a different blog. For now, we are planning on staying near Detroit and so have a TON of planning to do. Graduation is only a year away!!!!!!
