When I began my internship at my cardiac clinic, I had the inference that I would be watching surgeries and minor invasive procedures. Although, my experience in the cardiac clinic has allowed me to understand what a non-interventional cardiac clinic consists of. I am now viewing stress tests, echocardiograms, and encounters with the doctor’s patients. I now know that my mentorship is a calm environment that one can his or her tests done and consult with one of the doctors. I have learned that these locations are not extremely hectic and have good work hours. What surprised me most is the similarities between the staff and my peers. We are all the same people regardless of profession or age, but we just have different responsibilities. The staff is very kind and helps me learn so much about cardiology and I can learn about cardiology that I am not able to learn at school.
There are some routine boring parts of my internship like running through echo’s in a quiet dark room or following a doctor where the third consecutive patient has hypertension. I have learned that although these tests and conditions are frequent and monotonous, they are all important to treat. Due to their high frequency, it is vital to maintain proper focus so one can treat the patient well. Also I learned that a good night’s sleep is very important when dealing with patients and important information. Being attentive to details and everything that is occurring is vital to become a successful cardiologist.

The article details ten basic steps to increase one’s chances to prevent Stroke and heart disease. My research would potentially be on the the effects of running on the heart, so i would be able to talk about how initially running or exercise is beneficial to one’s heart, but then further develop the case into the negatives. I can also speak of how running causes an elevation in blood pressure and one of the steps in the article is to maintain one’s blood pressure at a stable rate. I would be able to develop an argument how running can both help and hurt the heart. This source was helpful in that it detailed the basic steps that individuals should follow to maintain healthy heart health. It allowed me to familiarize myself with the basic information that is provided to the public. Since my research is about how the heart is affected by running, I can propose two sides of the effects of running: a positive side which is detailed in this article and a negative side of running. In the section speaking of maintaining a daily exercise habit, I can introduce the topic of running and its prevalence in society. I can further go on to explain how running will benefit the heart. Daily exercising is an easy way to ensure heart health, but overdoing it may result in more negatives than benefits.
