Saints-giving
With a new season approaching, many
changes are taking place. For my fellow peers at the Tulane School of Medicine Pharmacology
Program, November was spent studying for the renal and pulmonary module. SABAs,
LABAs, and diuretics were some of the many new drugs that was added to our repertoire.
A much-needed break came over Thanksgiving allowing for a recharge. Unfortunately,
my dog had to go to the vet for some heart problems; however, it was so interesting
to be able to apply my knowledge of heart pharmacology including recently
learned diuretics in action. Seeing the drugs, we have learned about, being applied
was so intriguing. My dog had a pulmonary edema and was treated with a loop diuretic.
I was able to converse to the veterinarian about treating her with this drug.
In other local action, the saints
played on Thanksgiving Day with a victory to follow. November was not only for
feeling thankful, but also for making an impact on others. I chose to do this
by volunteering with the Run for Hope looking for sponsors and creating Ads and
a website. On Black Friday, I took initiative to go around asking for leftover
cans to donate to the food bank. Over Thanksgiving break, I also volunteered my time with the covington lions club as well as helped someone
moving in. My last three service hours will be volunteering at a school and
being a “guest reader”. I look forward to this experience to represent Tulane
once again in the community. Now, we head into the month of December for our
last module of the semester. I look forward to beginning holiday month in New
Orleans with hopes that the holiday cheer will inspire great success in this
next module. Total Service hours: 12 hours.
