From Rival to Rival
The start of a new month brings about another new rotation. Just as Toledo seems to be a battleground in the Michigan/Ohio State rivalry, my away rotations are equally split. After a month at the University of Michigan I am heading down to Ohio State. For November I will be completing an elective in Pediatric Emergency Medicine at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus. I really enjoyed my time in the ED at UTMC during my third year clerkship, so I’m looking forward to this upcoming month. I have heard that Nationwide Children’s is always quite busy, and with H1N1 there will certainly be no shortage of patients.
I enjoyed last month’s rotation in Pediatric GI at Michigan. Even though it was a subspecialty month, I saw a great deal of general pediatrics. I think being able to manage the common complaints is just as important as caring for the rare “zebras” that are found at large tertiary care centers. I gained a lot of experience in evaluating the “bread and butter” of pediatrics, from growth and nutrition to constipation and vomiting.
Stories from the pediatric ED coming soon!
