This semester we had to make a couple concept maps based on our patients. This was mine from last week. I was ashamed to hand it in because I thought it was ugly, but I did pretty well on it. At first I thought this was kind of a stupid assignment, but after completing it I realized that it is meant to help us synthesize information and make all the necessary connections required in critical thinking. Even a seemingly simple case, such as my patient, has a lot going on once you lay it all out on paper.
