Today was my first day of my
internship in Tafelsig medical clinic and it went really well! I worked in the
pediatric part of the clinic. Because it
was my first day, I spent most of it observing and learning how the clinic
operates. The clinic sees on average
500-700 patients every day so it gets very busy. I was amazed how much work can be done with
so little staff members. I really
enjoyed working in PEDs because I got to interact with the children. I met the
cutest 5-year-old girl today named Charlene.
She genuinely just wanted to know about America. I couldn’t get her off of my leg for almost
10 minutes because she just wanted to know more and more. She asked me if I had movie star neighbors
and how much homework I usually have. Later
in the day I kinda got puked on by a young boy, which most definitely made my
day interesting. My favorite part of
today was being given the opportunity to make amoxicillin. Although it was a little task, it made me
happy to participate in something. I
would most definitely call my first day at the internship a success and I’m
really excited to see what else I get to do in the future!
