Journal Entry 2 - Tenzin Lhamo

I have learned so many things in my externship that are helpful for me and people who have pain in their body. My placement is so exciting. Everyday there is always something funny happening and the best part is I get to learn more about my career choice.

This week my mentor taught me about the spine. The spine has three main areas:

1. Cervical - has 7 vertebrae
2. Thoracic - has 12 vertebrae
3. Lumbar - has 5 vertebrae

Then there are the two other parts of the spinal cord:

1. Sacrum - a triangular shaped bone right next to the Lumbar
2. Coccyx - the tailbone

    IN order to memorize those part, my mentor made me say them words 10 time. I know the definition of those word but I think I need to work in the spelling part.
