I'm sad that my coat doesn't weigh quite what I predicted. My guess was at least 8lbs easy. You have to realize that at the end of an 11-12 hour day in the hospital my coat starts to become heavy and I can feel it in my neck and shoulders.
In reality my coat weighs nearly 5lbs. You see I'm still a student which means I really do not know nearly as much as I should. I need to have some resources on hand in my pockets for physical exam, note taking, reference materials, and something to read so I can learn and don't look like a lazy bum when there is nothing to do.
I realize that this post is a little random and partly out o
So....here we go.
Chest pocket:
- a good black pen

- travel diagnostic kit (includes otoscope & opthalmoscope)
- a mini purell hand sanitizer

Right outside pocket:
- another pen
- pen light
- Ob/gyn wheel to figure out due dates and gestational age
