hows your gait?

On saturday spence, all med schools students, and I volunteerd at the special olympics here in surprise AZ. we were located at the swim meet, and i have to say a couple of the athletes really could have taken me for a race...they were pretty impressive. It was pretty interesting especially because i was the only non-med school student there. (origanally several wives said they would be there too) i was able to be spence's right had help and scribe as he evaluated the athletes. (we can't decide what is worse helping with vaginally exams all day or feet? either way its got its set backs, spence and i talked about that for awhile and i think its a tie) anyways he was there with his clinical professor Dr. jenkins and evaluate atheltes feet for: corns, calluses, athletes feet, warts, and more, they also watched peoples gait (heather you know what that is) to evaluate for: pronation, supination, and other cool words i can't remember. It was pretty interesting and the best part was Dr. Jenkins had the group circle around as he evaluated a foot and asked a specific question on what would be best to treat this particular candidate. (I felt like i was on greys anatomy and the head dr was looking for one bright and shinning student to know the answer) the group was silent...and then....spence came through with the correct answer! i wanted to shout horrah! but they don't do that. anyways you probably had to be there but it was pretty interesting to see the guys using their knowledge already, i am so proud of spence.
