Doctor Dash

This week was all about medicine. I had my first pharmacology workshops. These were designed to teach me more about the pharmaceutical industry. It brought back a lot of old knowledge from high school, such as statistics and what makes a valid trial group. However, they were quite long and I felt myself losing focus towards the end of each workshop. Later, I had an appointment with an allergist to discuss my weird allergy testing. However, the doctor could not give me a proper diagnosis and just referred me to another physician. All he could say for certain was that I did not have an allergy.  This was not good. I skipped a couple classes for an appointment that could’ve just been a phone call. However, I had a new appointment the very next day. The only problem was that I had a math exam that day. So now I couldn’t cram just before the test. But the next doctor was just as perplexed as the last one. He said to go see someone else, which did not really help me much. Right after I got back to the AIB, however, we found out that I could have my appointment immediately. So, I left and postponed my exam for Friday. Finally, this ENT specialist had a better treatment plan! She gave me some medication and told me to come back in a few weeks. So, I went to school the next day, took my math exam, and spent the weekend catching up on all the stuff I missed while I was at different appointments. All in all, not the most exciting or fun week I have had during the program.
