Week 4

This week, the volunteer work was pretty straight forward. I went back to entering new patient information into the system that they have. It's a pretty straight forward system, just fill in the blanks on the template with the information the paitents provided. Sometimes the most frustrating thing though was reading people's writing. But it was interesting to see the different people that come to the clinic, the demographic.

I was putting in the information of a Caucasin female and you need to put in race in one of the templates. And it was interesting to see that actually the computer would not let me put her race in as white rather it was forcing me to put hispanic. It was interesting considering the fact that people of all races can have difficult times in their life, and may need to come to the clinic. It was just suprising that I had to fight the computer so much to allow for me to put her correct race in.
