Hours 21-23

 On May 11 it was a rough day. I came in to the clinic at 10:30 and set up the equipment for the first appointment at 11:20. Though, it wasn't only a rough day for me, it was a rough day for a few people in the clinic. The always so happy receptionist inside the doctor's office was not so happy. She usually grated me with a smile but not this time. I guess it was an off day for everyone. Although the mood wasn't so great in the office, Dr. Penn still managed to put on a smile for the patients. The first patient was a boy around the same age as me. He was the first teenage patient I've come across. It was interesting to see how interested he was in getting glasses. He explained that he's always needed them but his mother never paid much attention. He did well in school but he said his vision was starting to bother him. I assisted Dr. Penn in giving the test card test by pointing to a line for him to read. The results came out to conclude that he was in dire need of glasses. I learned two things. One is that sometimes one needs to take matters in their own hands and two is that glasses are useful in the classroom!
