var chiropractor="<center><strong>Chiropractor Job Shadow Reflection</strong></center><br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The chiropractor I job shadowed was a great teacher of his profession.  He made me feel extremely comfortable and he was very down to earth.  He knows a lot about his field and since he graduated only a few years ago from CMCC he is up to date on the experience there as well as the application process.<br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;My late morning job shadow began quite slowly.  The chiropractor says that the business slows down in January and February which was evident on this day.  But the lack of patients early on actually gave me a chance to sit down and talk to him about my concerns of entering the chiropractic field.  I explained that in my experience chiropractors were not in great need where I came from and he said that in order to build your repertoire you need to be good.  He also mentioned that with the aging population and the reaching out of patients to different medical professions, the need for chiropractors will increase.  After this job shadow I went home and looked on the Ontario or Canada website for career information and they also said job prospects were good for chiropractors. My other big conversation with the chiropractor centered on the fact I am unsure of whether I want to go to CMCC or medical school.  It was very interesting because he himself applied and was accepted by both CMCC and McMaster Medical School.  He decided medicine wasn’t what he wanted to do mostly based on the fact that as a family doctor you aren’t doing a lot of in depth hands-on work and you are dealing more with different patient gripes.  The medical model of health, and the fact that family doctors are in such need, that they don’t get the opportunity to really connect with their patients, are reasons that I don’t want to become a medical doctor.  <br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Once patients starting coming in for their appointments in the afternoon, it got very busy.  He spends about 15 minutes with each patient and he seems to have a good relationship with all of them, even if he’s only seen them 3 times.  All the patients recognize that what he is doing is helping them feel better and they have great respect for him.  The chiropractor uses the Graston method on many of his patients with soft tissue injuries.  It is important to note that not one patient came in just to be adjusted by cracking.  All of them had some other method performed and some were adjusted by cracking after this. <br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;One interesting patient was a consult.  This patient had bad chiropractic experiences in the past and a chiropractor that did not seem to be telling the whole truth.  It was very interesting to see how this chiropractor handled telling the patient that her previous chiropractor was not treating her properly and what treatment he would use instead.  Although he didn’t do any treatment on that appointment we spent over an hour in the office with the patient addressing any concerns with chiropractic treatment.  Growing up in a chiropractors office I had forgotten how debated this field was and how difficult it could be for the chiropractor to be respected by the general public and by other health professionals.  It was an eye opener as I know if I went into this field I would often have to deal with dilemma. <br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Overall, this was a great experience.  It was good to have the opportunity to visit another chiropractor’s office and see their aspect of the profession.  The chiropractor was very helpful and I found it very valuable to just sit down and talk to him.";
var occupational="<center><strong>Occupational Therapist Job Shadow Reflection</strong></center><br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This job shadow was quite different from the last two I have done.  I actually wasn’t quite sure the role of an occupational therapist when I first arrived.  I left with a good understanding of the role and, although I know this is not the specific career for me, I learned different characteristics that I would love in my profession. <br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The occupational therapist (OT) I job shadowed works at a rehabilitative hospital which seems like a great place.  There is always lots going on and there seems to be a good relationship between co-workers.  This was an aspect that I enjoyed with this occupation.  I don’t think I would enjoy working in an office where I was the only doctor because I enjoy lots of interaction. <br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;With the OT I had the opportunity to see 3 patients. The first one had suffered a stroke a few weeks ago.  She was making great strides in rehabilitation but it was thought that she wouldn’t recover to the point where she could take care of herself.  We worked on teaching her how to get out and into a chair and her wheelchair.  We also had her try to get into bed with much assistance.  (The hospital has little apartment like rooms that simulate what it would be like for the patient to return to home.)  The programs were difficult to go through as the patient had no communication skills and it was thought that she did not completely understand what was going on around her. <br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The other 2 patients were also stroke victims.  They had similar problems but to different extents.  The 3rd patient, although a stroke victim, was all set to go home.  It was a home visit in that the patient was being taken home by the family, but the occupational therapist was going along too.  The occupational therapist went to try and give some suggestions on the layout and details of the house that would beneficial to change for the patients’ safety while at home.  Then the patient was going to stay home for one night and see how she could handle it. The next day she would go back to the hospital for about another week of treatment, and if that night had worked well, she would be allowed to go home for good. <br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; It was interesting to see how many different techniques and technologies were out there to help the patients adapt.  I also had never understood the health situation in Ontario associated with the growth of the aging population.  Because of this, there will be an increasing number of jobs in occupational therapy to try and keep the patients out of the hospital and in their homes. <br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Although this job shadow was very interesting, I realized that I don’t want to spend more than 90% of my time working with elderly patients.  I would prefer to work with people who I can improve their functioning today but also encourage them to choose healthier lifestyles for the future of their health.  I did enjoy the working conditions and the set up of the hospital as I think it is wonderful for the patients, but realistically in the career I will pursue, the environment will not very similar to this type of hospital.";
var surgery="<center><strong>Job Shadow with a General Surgeon Reflection</strong></center><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is the journal reflection for my 'day in the life of a surgeon' at the St. Catharines General Hospital. It is a day I will never forget, no matter how many more job shadows I do. On this particular day I was shadowing a general surgeon, but I also got to see Orthopaedic surgery and anaesthesiology. After getting changed into scrubs, the day started off with 2 gall bladder removals and a bowel repair. I had seen surgeries on television before, but you really don’t experience it until you are right there, looking into the patient’s organs, only a few inches away. It wasn’t like I was sitting in an observational room, I was right beside the surgeon, and she was explaining every detail to me as she went. The gall bladder removals were laparoscopic, which is when only small incisions are used and a camera is inserted.  This way the patient is not left with large scars, and the surgeon can see everything very precisely on the screen that projects what the camera is seeing. After one of the gall bladder removals, I even got the chance to put on gloves and feel the gallstones! There were 2 Medical students also in surgery: one was in second year of medical school and the other was in residency. I learned a lot talking to them! It was kind of scary seeing the surgeon drill them with questions during the surgery, but that’s all part of the learning experience! The one student in residency was also learning how to do some of the things in surgery, she made some of the cuts and did the stitches, so I got to learn more as the surgeon was teaching her.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I then sat in on part of a knee replacement with an orthopaedic surgeon, who was really friendly and welcoming. An orthopaedic surgery room actually seems a bit like a carpenter’s workshop. Everyone is wearing masks with shields, and the equipment used looks like hammers, saws, and drills. I also saw how strong an orthopaedic surgeon has to be when putting in an artificial bone.  In spite of all of this, and the loud noises from the equipment, the surgeon yelled over it all and explained the surgery as he went. It amazes me how performing surgery is as routine as eating breakfast for these surgeons’, and they can actually have a person’s life on the line and still explain everything to me as they go. <br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the afternoon I saw the most unforgettable surgery, the one that still sticks so clearly in my mind. It started off as a hysterectomy that they thought was a tumour on the ovary. When they opened her up, they saw that the cancer was spread everywhere, and it was in fact stage 3 cancer. It turned into a 3 hour surgery trying to remove as much as they could, and another surgeon had to be called in. It was sad to see how fast life can change, since that woman after surgery would have to hear that she needs chemotherapy. Needless to say, no one was explaining things to me during this surgery, as they were simply trying to save a woman’s life. Even for surgeon’s who do this everyday, this is still a surprise when they are expecting one thing but find something completely different and it catches them off-guard. However, it was a great learning experience, and I got to see what the cancer looked like as they were removing it. I watched in amazement as the surgeons tried to get every piece of cancer out, and parts of organs were removed. There was also a great anaesthetist that was in all of the surgeries I was in, and so during one of the surgeries, she had me at her station with her and showed me all of the things that she does. Job shadowing in the OR opened my eyes to what a typical day really would be like. While watching shows like Grey’s Anatomy, House, and ER might be entertaining, you will never really know what it’s like until you are right there, shoulder to shoulder with a surgeon and within arms reach of a patient lying on the operating table. ";
var physiotherapist="<p>The physiotherapist that I shadowed was excellent in taking the time to explain everything she was doing with each patient that she saw on the afternoon I was with her.  The first patient she was with was a new patient and she was finishing her initial assessment on her.  She took me through the rating systems that is used to determine what level a patient is at.  Different tasks are completed on different body parts and balance is also tested. </p><p>This physiotherapist works with the neurological in-patients, meaning she sees primarily stroke patients.  She explained why strokes occur and what she typically sees and looks for in her patients.  She explained the different programs that the patients are involved in to help recovery beyond what she does as a physiotherapist.  Patients are involved in walking programs on their hospital floor, work in the gym and pool, and they also do woodworking.  I was quite aware of the woodworking program, but I had only though of it from a recreation therapy point of view. The physiotherapist explained that the patients are able to apply body weight to affect limbs while sanding, for example, which helps to restore the neural pathway from the brain to the muscles.</p><p>Doing the job shadow with this physiotherapist really drove home that this is what I would absolutely love to do.  To see the relationships that she has developed with her patients over a short time, and the amount of job satisfaction I could tell she had makes it seems like a very fulfilling occupation.</p><br />";
var sexual_health_clinic = "<p>I asked my host what her mission was and she replied, “To stop the spread of STIs and to reduce unwanted pregnancies.” She said it with such passion and conviction that I was excited about the adventures we would go on in the Sexual Health Clinic.</p><p>I got to the Sexual Health Clinic, also known as 'the women’s clinic' by the local entrepreneurs, at 8:30am and was ready for action, no pun intended. When I walked into the foyer it was a very welcoming. I walked up to the secretary at the desk and she looked up and me and said, 'Take a number'. I looked over to the wall on my far left and saw numbered tickets. I was dumbfounded; she thought I was someone in need of service. I explained to her who I was and she apologized profusely. I thought it was funny and was looking forward to the other characters I would meet in this place.</p><p>My host had yet to arrive so I just sat in the waiting room reading pamphlets about birth control, getting educated, while people started to file in the waiting room in actual need of service. When Shirley finally arrived she had an air of wisdom and humor about her that made me feel comfortable automatically and I was not shy. We had to fill out some confidentiality papers and stuff first and then we started our day.</p><p>Firstly Shirley explained to me all the things that they do at the Sexual Health Clinic. They do counseling, examinations performed by nurse practitioners, write up prescriptions, pregnancy tests, blood test, STI tests, they also do referral when termination is wanted, and they also do prenatal education. That is a lot!! There is a job for everybody at the clinic. I was introduced to the librarian who takes care of all the literature regarding sexuality, I was introduced to practitioners, and I met the person who does the advertising. There were tons more but my feeble mind cannot remember all the fancy names of their positions. They were all women; there was not one man in that place working that I could see. It felt like a sisterhood it was great. </p><p>I was given the grand tour of the facility and was exposed to many offices, clinical rooms, pharmaceuticals, and other medically related rooms dealing with testing. My favorite room was the hmmm….I would say education room. Shirley gave me the sex talk, the completely uncensored version. I had a good time; I am now fully knowledgeable about birth control and STIs. But that wasn’t what I wanted to know (to be honest I knew all that stuff before) but I was interested in the way she would approach the subjects and the way she would talk to a client. She really admired her honesty, humor, and brashness about subject of sex. I had fun when she started to bring out all the models and was explaining to me all the anatomy she was so well at ease about it all. I laughed when we were going through birth controls and she started to smell the dental dam, and was telling me all about flavors. Furthermore when we talked about subjects of why people have STIs, or why there are unwanted pregnancies she always answered with compassion and understanding. “We do not judge you here” she said and I knew she told the truth. She told me of stories of past patients she had dealt with and at many times I could feel the knot of sadness in my throat. You would have to be so emotionally stable to do this job. I wasn’t even working there and I was almost crying most the day.</p> <p>Lunch break!!</p><p>I walked into a room and there was four women sitting around a table talking about the movies that make them weep. They were having a lot of fun and they all look like great friends. They were giving each other man, child, and work advice; it was like an episode of Sex and the City'.except with less sex talk and more baby talk. The environment is very friendly and relaxing. These nurses and other employee work at all the different branches of the Sexual Health Clinics in the Niagara region. These are busy women.</p><p>After break my host and I talked more about her experiences in this field, and about some of the other things associated with it. I got to shadow her when she was cashing out a prescription for birth control. They have this crazy computer system I didn’t understand. She also offered the client condoms. CONDOMS, CONDOMS, CONDOMS, they were everywhere in that place they are really trying to promote safe sex to the people who come in there. One of the most boring aspects of the job that I saw was calling people back about their test results. Its constant phoning and it seemed slow paced. YUCK!</p><p>I would say that that was one of the best days of my life. I loved working amongst people who have a cause and are so passionate about it. They truly care, they even give STI medication out for free because they know that people may not be able to afford it. I loved the education aspect as well. On a personal level I always feel that people are uneducated in sexuality and I enjoy being the educator to my friends and colleagues. Coming from a small town where teen pregnancy and STI infection are high I would wanna take the same attitudes and structures that I learned here and implement them back home. I loved that I could change somebody’s life for the better. I also feel that teenagers especially girls are made to feel guilty about their sexuality and I don’t feel that is right. I was comforted by the fact that the people of the clinic felt the same way and wanted to prevent this. It was fantastic to talking to people who weren’t prudes!!!! I gave my opinions on why I think girls do this and this, and we discussed it. I felt I was making a difference. They wanna hear and understand why people do the things they do. </p><p>I really enjoyed this job placement; however I felt my scientific self unsatisfied. Furthermore, I would like to incorporate this type of system regarding sexual health in my own practice one day and be both doctor and educator of the young. I sound like a cape crusader, but it’s the truth. I feel that this placement has changed my life and I want to some how make it a part of my future while satisfying my need to be a medical detective aka doctor.</p><br />";
var general_surgery="February 2006-<i> Dr. Kobylecky-General Surgeon</i><br /><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I did this shadow last year, but I will search back in my memory for it, which isn’t too hard to do with this placement! With Dr. Kobylecky you get to see a little bit of everything. I was actually only with her in the morning because she was going on holidays in the afternoon. However, I stayed with the one nurse and watched other surgeries in the afternoon. With Dr. Kobylecky I saw gall bladder removals and a bowel repair. Dr. Kobylecky even got me to put on gloves and play with the gallstones! She had 2 medical students with her: one was in second year at Mac and the other was in residency. I learned a lot talking to them! It was kind of scary seeing Dr. Kobylecky drill them with questions during the surgery, but at least it wasn’t me! The one student in residency was also learning how to do some of the things in surgery, she made some of the cuts and did the stitches, so I got to learn more as Dr. Kobylecky was teaching her. I then sat in on part of a knee replacement with Dr. Martin, who was really friendly and welcoming. In the afternoon I saw an unforgettable surgery. It started off as a hysterectomy that they thought was a tumor on the ovary. When they opened her up, they saw that the cancer was spread everywhere, and it turned into a 3 hour surgery trying to remove it, and another surgeon had to be called in.

There was also a great anaesthetist that was in all of the surgeries I was in, and so during one of the surgeries, she had me at her station with her and showed me all of the things that she does. This is a great shadow that I think everyone should take part in.<br /><br />Tips:<br />-Shoes that you can stand in are your only hope! <br />-You will get scrubs to change into.<br />";
