so first day at VA, first pt. pulls a no show. THis was secretly ok with me due to the fact that my pt. was 1. homeless and 2. addicted to meth and cocaine. Those didn't sound like fun for the first pt. back. So, my second pt. is 20 min. late, so I was getting discouraged he wasnt going to show, and to my surprise...he showed!! And its a good thing too cause I was sooooo ready for him and excited to get my clean on, so I got talking to him and to my dismay...he had knee surgery within the last year DID NOT PRE-MED, therefore, I had to send him home. BAD LUCK ISN'T OUT YET. It gets better. So, the next day, I was at the gym pumping some seriouse iron and all of a sudden, my back freezes up, I can't move, I drop to my knees and can't breath. Apparently it was a "muscle spasm" whatever the H that means. So I seek a massage and a trip to the chiropractor and cry myself to sleep. I wake the next day and feel a little better, strap on my back brace, take my Valume, and am on my way to the first real day of clinic where I'll actually see patients! As I 'm pulling into clinic, the pt calls and cancels my morning and afternoon appointment. OK, AM I GETTING PUNKED HERE? WHERE IS ASHTON? THIS IS NOT FUNNY. Kyle ended up coming (nice i had to use my number one back up plan on my first day of clinic) and the clinic found me someone for the afternoon, thanks for that guys. Anywho, it turned out good, I got 8 Quads of a IV, an exam passed off and a P.E. so we'll take it. E for effort.
