Home for the weekend and practicing Physicals on my family.
My brothers put up a fight at first but I think they began to realize that its going to happen no matter what. In lab this morning we learned how to asses the ears nose mouth and eyes so I only practiced those skills. It was actually very easy on my 1 brother and my Dad. I was able to use the ophthalmoscope and asses the optic nerve, the veins/arteries and the fovea. They were clear, easy to move around and look at. However on my mother and my other brother I was only able to get to the red reflex and that was it. I could not see further into the eye to asses anything. So I moved on to use the Otoscope and look into the ears. The ears for me are much easier to look into and see everything. I saw the Tempanic Membrane clearly, the reflecting light, part of the malleus and of course lots and lots of ear wax! The other body parts were not as much fun cause I didn’t have to use a scope or a cool gadget lol. But on the bright side, from what I can tell, everyone in my family has healthy ears, eyes, noses, and mouths! So that’s good. :)
