3 Students and a Truck

My classmate, Jigar, came up with this yesterday as we were finishing moving all of Auburn/Dr. Kelley's stuff from Carraway to our AU pharmacy office in Vestavia. That phrase describes my last few weeks at Carraway - yesterday was the official last day of Carraway, the doors are closed, no more patients... So sad! We saw several patients this week who were extremely distressed to hear that the hospital where they were born at and have gone their entire adult life was closing its doors. They didn't know where they should go. They wanted to follow my preceptor, Dr. Kelley, but she doesn't know where she will be. It was hard to explain it to them and then watch them walk out the door, just hoping they will follow-up with someone and get adequate medical care. While my learning experience has been a little different than expected, it has been a good lesson on something that rarely happens! I'll spend the next two weeks seeing patients at Kirklin Clinic downtown and working on my platform which is Nov 11th!!
