Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a nice week so far! I am enjoying the slightly cooler temps here in Michigan as well as having less rain! It has been quite the humid, rainy, and either too hot or too cold summer. This week has been a busy week with a rotation I am doing with the dietitians at the Michigan Medicine Pediatric Surgery clinic. I am mostly shadowing them in their patient visits and then we discuss the cases together, and I am also working on going through different learning assignments and resources related to topics like managing tube feeding regimens and other nutritional aspects of different surgery conditions. Many of the patients seen at this clinic have had pretty involved surgeries for various issues in their GI tracts making it impossible or hard for them to eat orally, so it is vital that they are working with a dietitian and the rest of their healthcare team to still get the nutrition that they need. I will be in this rotation for this week and next. So far I have been liking it and also learning a lot!
Here are some tasty eats I have been enjoying in the meantime!
