This month has flown by very quickly. Since our renal block,
we have been focusing on NSAIDs and various drugs associated with the treatment
of asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. I have also seen an improvement in
my study habits. Staying on top of all the information is important to make
sure you are prepared for the exams, and to ensure that you retain as much
information as possible. In other news, I volunteered with Habitat for Humanity
recently, specifically with the A Brush for Kindness program. This
program helps low-income homeowners that are not able to afford repairs by
providing a variety of services, giving the property a refreshed look and the
homeowner happiness and satisfaction with their home. Our job specifically was to repair a wooden fence that encircled the property. Many of the
boards were rotten, broken, and even infested with termites. One section of the
fence was being warped and bent from the large amount of vines growing on the
fence. By the end of the day, we had successfully removed the poorly conditioned
sections, and correct the warped fence. A fellow worker came up with an
ingenious system to account for the lean in one section of the fence, where the
metal post that served as the original fence post was grounded in cement and was unable
to be moved to correct the lean:
