Conjunctivitis

Conjunctivitis sucks. I woke up this morning and my eyes were itchy and watery and it only got worse during the day so when they were finally so bloodshot and painful that I could barely keep them open, I saw one of the docs this afternoon. Nurses really do make the worst patients. We're so reluctant to see a doc and more convinced that we can heal ourselves...actually maybe that's just a woman trait. I was going to put it off until tomorrow morning but by then my eyes would have probably be glued shut with mucky gunk. Lovely. Even now, with the antibiotic drops, they're still super bloodshot and itchy. The pharmacist said it was probably going to become an occupational hazard working at the clinic and catching everyones germs. Jane (one of the docs) had really bad laryngitis last week and completely lost her voice for a few days so hopefully I don't catch her sickness. She did have a mucky eye though...hmmm.

We did sigmoidoscopies at work today. I got to see what the inside of the small bowel looks like. It's pink ;0) I have to assist the doctor and clean the instruments but he likes to teach me things so he let me look through the scope today at a polyp. I didn't really know what I was looking at other than pink tissue but it was pretty cool.

Time for bed. Goodnight all!
