Week 5 and Beyond - Weekly Vocabulary Assignments

I actually didn't learn any new vocabularies from my internship. But I did learn some argots.
There are special words or abbreivation my internship site are using. Such OB stands for observation patient which is the one that has lab to do. NP stands for new patient which there's no record for them(so I don't have to look for their charts). Oh, right, and charts!! Charts are the medical file for patients.

And here're some new SAT words that I had learned this week:

1. Word / Phrase: Daunting

Meaning: discouraging

Context: Getting a lower grade is both daunting and encouraging.


2. Word / Phrase: Congeal

Meaning: to become thick or solid, as a liquid freezing

Context: The gravy was congealed with my mash patato.

3. Word / Phrase: Decorous

Meaning: proper, well-behaved.

Context: Her dress is decorous for the concert.

4. Word / Phrase: ostracism

Meaning: exclusion, temporary banishment

Context: His ostracism from the dinner table last night was rescinded when he apologized for talking rudely to his parents.

5. Word / Phrase: procrastinate

Meaning: to put off doing work

Context: What I want to do now is to procrastinate my works.

Week Four: You're a third of the way there

Well, I feel like I'm answering these questions over and over again. But anyway, I have to complete them and I'm late to finish this blog.I was absent on last Wednesday so I didn't go to my internship.

Part 1

So once again, the name of my internship site Spring Ob/Gyn. It's a clinic for obterics and gynecology. Spring Ob/Gyn located in SOHO, it's a pretty cool and great place that makes me enegetic and want to go to my internship. Of course, there're lot of stores on the sidewalk and I did window-shopping a lot :P

I had done filing, faxing, submitting referals, medical records, calling for prescription and the patients.
.......................................................................................................

I usually leave school after lunch at 11:45. It usually take me one hour from school to get to my internship (including waiting time). Sometimes I would arrived there at 12:45. I get off from my internship at 5 P.M. and if I'm lucky and catch the train, I arrive at home around 6--6:30. I work 3 days a week and 4 hours a day. My mentor Melody and her friend Emy are the two people that can sign my time card.
.......................................................................................................

There weren't not such difference between the 4th and the 3rd week of internship. The only thing that's different was that I absent on Wednesday. So I used up one of my sick excuse.

Overall, I love my internship. Love the people that I'm working with; love the environment; love the neighborhood.
But I just don't think that I had learned a lot during the internship. Although I had learned some basic stuffs and the routine of the clinic, but I think I can learn more!

I had read many people's blog and most of them are my friends. Such as Kristina,Allison, Amy, Esin and Youtina. :0
And I had read some senior's internship blog as well!!!

Week 3--Life as a high school intern

This is the third week of internship. Everything goes almost the same every day.
Still, FILING, FILING FILING.


Of course I want to do something more fun and learn more, but I think my worksite is sort of limited me. But that's fine, I'm leraning little by little.

I did do something different this week. The insurance company EMIS had requested patients' medical record. So I had to make plenty copies for each patient, then mail them. I did make mistakes :( I should make one copy for each, but I press the wrong button---to 50. So I had wasted many papers. Then I had to fix the order and pick the significant ones and put in the envelope then mail them.

I had learned that I have to pay attention to every details(even the micro ones) while I'm working from this mistake. I'll be more careful next time and check everything before I do it.

Week 2-Getting better acquainted with my site

Well, I don't think I will forget what I had done in my internship because I repeat almost the same thing every day.

But I did do something new this week. One of my co-worker taught me how to do referrals in the internet. But I only did that once. There are few steps to submit a referral. So after she explained the procedures to me, I jotted them down on my journal. So if I have to it again in the future, I don't have to go back and ask her again.

I didn't record what I had done in my internship each day, but I did record my mood. Sometimes I would bring my cell phone with me to my site. After I got off and got down to the lobby, I would use the camera and talked about my feeling and ... Right, silly stuffs.// It's mad fun when I watch them afterward :p
