Internal Medicine

Today was my first day on my internal medicine rotation which will last this week and next week.  It went pretty well.  I receive appointments on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and receive transfer cases (cases that come into the ER but then are transferred to internal medicine) on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Today, my appointment was a cat that was coming in to be rechecked after fighting pancreatitis, hepatic lipidosis (fat accumulation in its liver), and diabetes.  It was doing excellent, so we sent them home with instructions to return in 2 weeks to recheck bloodwork.  My case was in and out within an hour and then it was just a matter of getting the paperwork done.  Nice and easy!
