My True Calling

Mai took me to the best place ever today. I know for some people...it might be a weird place to have so much fun...but... I went to the "Race Track Clinic" which is held every Monday here in Riverdowns, a place where people race horses. What we went to do was basically be a little clinic for the people who have to work and live at the stable areas. Since the labor is harsh and the pay is little, most of the people there are Mexicans or other Spanish speaking people. They survive off of meager earnings and rarely have the opportunities to go get medical help or anything really. I got to take my first blood pressure off of some guy and also do heart rate and respiration rates. I even started taking the full history from that guy. However, I really had no certain idea what I was doing and just did it by the seat of my pants. I see now that it's really what I should be doing. I eagerly absorb as much as information as possible and yet it was still not enough. If I make it to medical school...I can't wait. If I were to be a nurse, I think I'll just end up taking way too much initiative for my position.
