Rotation 4 Site Evaluation Summary

During my site evaluations for this rotation, I started by presenting my H&P. My case was about how a NG tube failed to treat a small bowel obstruction. A diagnostic exploratory laparotomy had to be done and revealed a foreign body. Then I presented an article about how effective is ultrasound in diagnosing small bowel obstruction when compared to the gold standard CT scan. My site evaluator also went over the important points for small bowel obstruction after the presentation of my case, which I found to be very helpful. For example, the most common causes of SBO, the classic clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging, and treatment. I also got quizzed on my pharm cards as well as other students’ pharm cards. Lastly, we reviewed the procedure book. My site evaluator did not comment much on the way I presented my H&Ps, articles, and pharm cards. However, he gave a lot of useful comments on the way that the patient should had been evaluated. This will be very beneficial and applicable to my future rotations when I am generating a list of differential and evaluation for the patients.
