Today was interesting. First I became a phlebotomist (sp?) today which was kind of interesting. I enjoyed doing it actually. I was therefore pretty busy most of the day because a lot of people have to have blood drawn. We saw over 200 patients today which was similar to yesterday.

I walked back to the childrens center today to go to the bathroom and a little boy fell in front of me. He had a big head laceration (too big to let go). I was going to sew it up until we found out that center has insurance for the kids that come there and therefore he went to the clinic. I felt so bad for him.

More later since I have to go to dinner.......
