I've had the opportunity to shadow my mentor, Dr. Beiser, in the Emergency Room a few times this past week. As expected, it's not like the T.V. show! I was surprised at how calm the doctors stay while working in the critical moments. It's an art to say the least...
While not in the ER, I've been busy in the lab. I've got a plan for my syringe pump program. However, it's going to be tough one. I find computer programming pretty intuitive, but I'm not sure if I know enough to develop this software. Also, there is the challenge (which is the challenge of all biomedical engineering) of making the computer and machine work with a living being. We'll see, it's going to be an adventure.
This research has also been an opportunity to attend lab meetings, code review, and medical research lecture. I'm just trying to soak all the information in, and get the most out of it!
Maintaining a balance,
Waha
