A 60-year-old patient with diabetes was admitted. He reported lower back pain and I got to measure his blood sugar that was 14,4 which is very high. We did an ECG and ultrasound.
I don’t know what the reason for his lower back pain was because I didn’t get to stay until the end of the examination. I had to go back to college because I have some afternoon lessons that were mandatory to attend.
I was very happy that I got to spend a day with the doctors and watch how a day in the ER looks like, learned how to examine a patient, and saw some interesting cases.
