Shadowed Dr. Bohman Book Report
Shadowed Dr. Bohman, as we met with patients in the pre-op waiting rooms and went over their medical history and any other question or concerns they may have had. Dr. Bohman anesthetized patients mostly under the care of orthopedic surgeons on the days I shadowed him. Although this shadowing experience was for anesthesia, I felt it gave me some insight into other fields such as orthopedics, and both general and plastic surgery.

    To learn more about osteopathic medicine, I shadowed Dr. Stern, D.O. He also graduated from Des Moines University. My shadowing experience exposed me to physical exams, taking medical history, and writing HPIs. I also learned more about patient interviews along with osteopathic manipulations to heal small injuries. Dr. Stern was very informative on how a D.O. conducts patient interviews and treat patients as a whole. He taught me to listen carefully to patient’s concerns. For example, he talked about a patient who was concerned she did not feel normal. He stated the women appeared normal in health, but he decided to look further into her concerns. After doing some blood work, she was diagnosed with lipoma. To me, this demonstrated the importance…

    I laid in a cot in my own section of the surgical center. I was about to meet my anesthesiologist for my arthroscopic knee surgery. An anesthesiologist is in charge of administering anesthetics “prior to, during, or after surgery or other medical procedures” (“Anesthesiologists”). The anesthesiologist entered the room and greeted me. She was going to be in charge of my life while I was under. She had to give me just the right amount of anesthetics. Too much and I would perish. Too little and I would awake during surgery and feel every tugging motion inside my knee. Outside the operating room far off is an observatory where an astronomer is hard at work. What he does is fascinating and fantastical to my eyes but it would not be something I would like to do full time. Becoming an anesthesiologist is what I decided to do because it is more of a true full time job, it requires a lot of work, and it is overall a career that is both exhilarating and interesting for me.…

    Before this shadowing experience, I knew that pursuing a career in medicine is something that I was interested in, but I never had a real experience to examine a typical doctor's life. After the first week of shadowing, I started getting a sense of what it is to be a doctor. Becoming a doctor is not something easy. Every time I went to the office, there was a big list of patients that doctor Eloy had to meet. He had to be careful about the way he acts and the way he talks with patients, nurses, and other doctor. Even though it seemed so hard at the beginning, I enjoyed this experience and I learned a lot from it. I learned that being a doctor requires more than going to medical school. Medical school is just the first step. I learned that a…

    General Anesthesia

    Nearly 60,000 people nationwide undergo surgery using general anesthesia every day (Wein, 2011). Anesthesia is described as using a “combination of drugs” that makes surgery more tolerable for both doctors and patients. This type of anesthesia is usually administered through intravenous injection and inhaled drugs, which cause a complete loss of consciousness in the patient (NSRL, n.d.). It also blocks pain as well as keeps the patient immobile during the operation. Uses of anesthesia have been recorded and were experimented with by the Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians, whom of which documented their research in medical texts; however, there is also evidence of anesthetic use that predates written text going back thousands of years (Grupo Biblio Medical, 2009).…
