This week (July 15 through July 22) I have had the privilege
to shadow Dr. Fahl at his orthopedic and sports medicine clinic. Dr. Fahl specializes in problems with the shoulders and knees. I followed him around to see many patients and even got to witness 9 different surgeries. I found the experience amazing. I had so much fun and find myself wanting to go back.
I learned so much from Dr. Fahl; not only clinical skill like reading x-rays and MRI’s but also how to talk and interact with patients. I learned that surgeries were actually really fun and that although being a doctor is a lot of work, if you enjoy what you are doing it feels like fun. I enjoyed every second of being at his office and I loved worked with the nurses as well. Stepping into scrubs made me feel like part of the team. I would definitely want to do this again.
