Today was my first shadowing day. I got there at 1 (an hour "late" since my class goes until 12:30) but the doctor is extremely nice. Found out he spent time in London, completed his medical school in Turkey, and is a Cypriot (not Turkish). Saw a wide range of cases as anybody who cannot speak Turkish just asks for Internal Medicine (even though there are other specialists "better" for their problems). Was also cool because he actually let me practice the basic stuff and then compared what he got to mine. One patient who came in even offered his friend who was with him for extra practice =)
