7th Hour: Cleaning

(Continuing May 6th)
After a few patients, I assisted in cleaning the exam room. I learned that everything must be sterile and as clean as can be. I also learned how to handle the equipment used for exams. I was afraid that I would break the equipment if I handled it the wrong way. My mentor said, "they're tools, you play around with them," and after that I wasn't worried about damaging anything. During this time I also got to know my mentor on a more personal level and learned that doctors are more interesting and down to earth than they look.
