Today I met my mentor at the hospital again. She showed me another patient and took time to thoroughly explain his file (lab reports, diagnoses, etc.) to me. We mainly discussed the implications of dialysis and kidney transplants, and the complications, advantages and disadvantages that accompany each treatment. She also described the side effects of the medicines that are given to the patients, and how further illnesses can be developed from these.
Other than the usual patient-visits, my mentor was also enthusiastic about taking a picture with me. She found out which one of her patients in the hospital was undergoing dialysis at that moment and we donned protective gowns and posed in front of the dialysis machine.
