I'm going to try shadowing at a few locations soon, and am curious as to what to expect. What exactly are your responsibilities as a shadow? Do you simply sit in the corner mute, with pen and paper allowing the doctor to pretend you don't exist while you scribe his or her every action as though magical tricks were being revealed? Do you actually sit in the examination room as patients are seen (I imagine that might make patients less than comfortable)? Are you just the optometrist's gofer for the afternoon: "I said lightly-toasted poppy-seed bagel! Now, DO IT AGAIN, BACHELOR'S-DEGREE SCUM!"
Thanks.
Thanks.
