Today I had my first encounter with a standardized patients. These people are actors who are paid to simulate real patients. They are given a list of symptoms, and act like real patients while we interview them. The first was depressed, the second had classical angina, and the third had carpel tunnel syndrome. It's great that we can interview these patients and hone our skills without actually having to deal with any real patients. If we screw up, it won't actually mean anything. Plus they can give us feedback on how we did.
Today I spent three and a half hours in the gym. I did cardio, lifted with Kam, and then played squash with him for a long time. He and I are almost perfectly matched.
