High-speed Internet? Job Shadowing? Where to Now?

The meeting with Bryce Clayton, the vocational counselor, was mostly filling out papers so he could send for Will’s medical records and try to determine from records and conversations with Will’s doctors, a plan for the retooling phase of his recovery. Bryce suggested he could help us get high-speed internet so Will could take classes on line. He also suggested a hand-held device that Will could use to record histories of patients so he won’t have to keep so many things in his head. He acknowledged that this was his first time counseling with someone who was a doctor, so he would be feeling his way along and would appreciate any suggestions we might have as well our patience while he tried to put together something that would work. Will is anxious to be back in a hospital setting doing volunteer work, and we are hoping something like job shadowing is a possibility since he is getting a little stir-crazy.
