During this
week in ISM I have completed my eighth research assessment, contacted a few
cardiologists, and begun analyzing my original work survey data. For my eight
research assessment I analyzed an article about how revolutionary device has
been shown to significantly lower blood pressure among patients with uncontrolled
high blood pressure compared to those treated with usual drug measures. The
device developed my ROX Medical and named the Coupler is a paper clip sized
implant which is inserted between the artery and vein in the upper thigh. Also
this week I contacted a few cardiologists to plan to ask for a mentorship. One
of the cardiologists agreed for a mentorship but then declined the next day so
I needed to contact some more cardiologists quickly in case the final two
cardiologists I will ask decline for a mentorship. I already contacted three
cardiologists for a mentorship, two declined and one is pending. I have an
email ready for one more person to ask for a mentorship in case the present
cardiologist declines and I have emailed a few cardiologists to ask for a
research interview in case the final few cardiologists decline. Hopefully I
will find a mentor very soon so that I can began my tasks with him. This week
has been a wonderful week and I hope to accomplish more in the future.
