Sophia Post #4

On the last day of my internship, we moved to a different location in children’s hospital than we had been the whole time. This time we were downstairs for the neuromuscular clinic. It’s an MDA clinic like I had been to before, but it differs because these are kids whose progression of the disease is more advanced. They also see multiple doctors one after the other. So after we would so them a pulmonologist would see them and then an orthopedist. I shadowed a few different neurologists in the early morning because my doctor wasn’t there yet, so it was interesting to shadow other doctors and see how they work with their patients. The whole staff was so nice and they were very eager to answer any questions I had. Every kid I saw today was in a wheelchair which was unlike any other day. Overall, I loved this internship so much. The kids were great and I learned so much about the brain and how it functions and how to identify problems in it.
