Dr. Nawrocki started this morning with teaching about
infectious diseases: how to identify, know their symptoms, and treat them. He
discussed diseases that the students will face regularly: tuberculosis,
pneumonia, diarrhea, and HIV/AIDS. He also lectured on some less common
diseases that they could see such as rabies, syphilis, and tetanus. Part of the
lecture this morning was about identifying and treating these diseases as
quickly as possible. He also discussed bedside manner and about how important
empathy is when treating a patient. The
students were fascinated at the different medial techniques that he presented
in order to save a patient’s life.
After lunch, we had the privilege of reviewing some of the
student’s pictures that they have taken with their new cameras. Dr. Nilson
critiqued them to teach them how to improve their pictures. Their technological
skill impressed us all. Some more of the students also presented what they
learned on the medicine assignment that was mentioned in a prior post. Each
student was assigned a different medicine to study and present to the class. As
usual, the day ended with a song.
