Tri-7 Wk2 Day 407, Wed - Snow Day on Thursday!

Catching up on the blog here for Wednesday. It's currently Thursday and we have a snow day at Logan!!! Yeehaw! I didn't end up getting home to end my day until close to 11 p.m. last night. I'm trying to sleep a little later in the morning but the alarm is still going off at 4:45 a.m. which is making for some long, arduous days. No problem. I can do this.

Here are some interesting facts I totally forgot about until I re-listened to a few lectures while commuting.

• Per Dr. Kuhn, According to the AMA, 80% of cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal) surgeries are unnecessary.
• One of the top three predictors for whether or not a lady will have a hysterectomy are the number of doctors in the patients zip code. (Dr. Kuhn)
• 6% of the elderly are binge drinkers. (Dr. Bub)

Physical Therapy was very cool yesterday, we got to work with about a half a dozen different LASER modalities, including two Class IV LASERs which, I'm hoping to get certified in next Friday, the 28th of Jan.

I also learned that IHS (Internal Health Specialist) could be three letters to add after my name, right after the DC designation once the post graduate class is completed this year but, I also learned from a classmate that our Part III National Boards are on the same weekend as the last session for IHS although I haven't confirmed this for myself.

I had a CMR scheduled yesterday with Dr. Montgomery, that was kind of like a bonus section of the day to get to spend one on one with Dr. Montgomery. Quite educational but again, it's hard not to notice the vast discrepancy between a Hall of Fame doctor like Dr. Montgomery and the level I'm at now which is struggling to stay in the minor leagues and hoping to make it to AAA ball by the time I graduate.

I can't spend too much time on this blog. I still have my retake for Diversified scheduled for tomorrow at 11 a.m.

I'm loving the iPad, it's so easy to reschedule when things change. Just a tap of the item scheduled then tap the new date and you're done. I've gotten emails from a couple teachers today on reschedules due to the snow day but still have the hands on portion of our CPR training to reschedule.

I still have to get to the bookstore to get the remainder of my books needed for classes. I thought I'd head up this weekend then realized I have SOT classes all weekend. There must be a lunch hour on Saturday when I can take care of this.

OK, 1/2 hour to get cleaned up, 90 minutes on making an outline for Lower Cervicals, leave home at 11:30 to go practice Diversified w/ Dad, lunch, errands, practice Diversified again w/ Dad, study some more then, if enough time, get a third round of diversified practice in tonight.

I need to focus on now & today. One day at a time.
