It was an incredible and touching experience. Having never really dealt with babies anywhere, I was very intrigued by the examinations and all the information I learned about newborns.
I actually felt as though I was helping out. I really enjoyed that he allowed us to touch the babies and to test reflexes. It was nice that he used medical terminology and then slowed down to explain what the abbreviations meant. I wasn't expecting to get as involved in the nursery and I'm really glad that we had the opportunity. It was also nice that Dr. Cooper's residents were there so we got to see residents in action.
It was exciting. I liked the nursery enviroment and the way it was set with the security system. It was great how we were able to take a little part of the examination and actually do something. It was interesting to see how new born babies are examined. And I agree with Anne, I liked how we were able to see the residents take action.
It was a very educational experience. It was interesting to see how rounds were preformed in a real life setting, but then having the benefit of explanations so that we could follow and understand. It was also interesting to see how other factors, such as social factors, can affect the work and decisions of the doctors.
It was amazing to see and feel how feeble yet strong infants can be. It was a new experience for me to feel the soft spots on their heads and look into their eyes through the light.
It was great to be so hands on with the residents. Touching the soft spots, admonins, and everything. As Anne said, it was great how we could see thing go through it examination using their normal terminoligy, but then slow it down so we could what it was actually like but also understand it.
I loved having the hands on experience and actually learned alot helping him in his rounds. It was amazing to be able to feel, and hear everything he had been telling us about. I had no idea a baby's heart rate could be so fast. Also, it was nice that he explained everything as we went along. That way, we knew what he and his team were discussing.
