Today I continued work with my project, I've still been unable to reach about six people, but considering how many people I wasn't able to reach at the end of yesterday, I'm feeling pretty good about it.  I also continued work on the excel spreadsheet, as well as began work on the general report for the case study, which I realized today is a lot of work.  As I head into the last couple days of my internship, however, I realize how much I'm going to miss it.  It may be a little unorthodox to post this onto a website that I created for school, but I really don't want to go back to school, now that I've gotten a taste of the real world, especially since it constantly ties back to my interests.  For example, today, in between periods of working on my project for Dr Lawton, I slipped into the OR to observe him perform one last total knee replacement, and even though I'd already seen two of them, it was still fascinating to me to see how everything connected together and worked.  And what still blows my mind, even when I think about it now, is how a body part can be completely mutilated and changed, and introduced to plastic and metal components, and somehow, after all of that, still function completely normally after given the chance to heal.  Tomorrow will be my last day as I will be leaving Thursday for Spokane for a volleyball tourn

    For my LINK Internship, I will be working with Rich Lawton, an Orthopedic Surgeon who works at our local hospital, Mercy Regional Medical Center.  For my LINK project, I plan on doing a project relating to patient outcomes after surgery, for use before surgery, so that the patient knows what they can expect.  I think that this would be useful because when I had my own surgery, I wasn't exactly sure what I could expect, and it would be reassuring for young or first time surgery candidates to know exactly what would happen before, during, and after the surgery.  This is where I will be posting my daily logs for my internships.
