This summer was indeed much better than I expected. Honestly, I dreaded staying in St. Louis for the summer; The thought of it made me so sad during the school year. But it ended being much better than I thought.
I had a couple of cool trips, Miami for Memorial Day, Home (!!!), Chicago for the 4th of July, and San Diego at the end of July.
The biggest part of the summer has been working in the dispensary at my school's clinic and also seeing patients.
Seeing patients this summer has mostly been a rewarding experience. I am shocked at how much I learned, at how much I knew, and how much more I have to learn. I think I'm going to do a separate post on that too.
I have mostly enjoyed working in the dispensary. I basically help people pick out glasses and order and receive glasses. It is baffling to me how indecisive people actually are. I think it has made me a better decision maker, because after about 30 mins I basically coax and play mind games to make people decide. lol.
Working here has made me understand and appreciate another aspect of optometry. It has helped me see that it is indeed attainable to open my own practice and my dispensary is going to be phenomenal as well. Look out for Summer Recap, :Pt 2
Until Next Time...
