Over spring break, although I did not take the time to research more about pseudotumor cerebri shunting, I had 'My Longest Mentor Visit Ever'. The convenience of having my father as my mentor allowed me to stay at his office for seven and a half hours, in which I was able to see him perform a variety of tests, diagnose his patients, and listen to the ailments his patients have. Surprisingly, on that specific day, there were many patients that came in with migraines, headaches, or problems with seizures. I thought it was interesting at how many patients Dr. Joe gets that fall into the category. Another thing I was able to see was Dr. Joe performing more memory tests. After having seen more than five memory tests being performed on a variety of patients, it becomes clear which patients have early signs of dementia and those who do not. I also saw that while some people did have early signs of dementia, there were also patients who simply took the test due to their medications causing them to have brain fog. In terms of my final product, I will complete my research on pseudotumor cerebri shunting and then consult Dr. Joe about the next step I should take in order to complete my final product.
