Vicky's Elective
Hey everyone,
Sorry its taken a while, not been to internet. Started at the hospital this week. Its pretty different to home. The ward is open air for starters, so no walls! Teaching is good but there are so many students. Ward round is at 8am and there are abotu 20 students following it at any one time. We can pretty much do what we want. Went to cardiology the other day and heard muchos murmers, good practice. Think im gonig to the cardiac cath lab at some point too which should be good. The kids are really sweet, but the language is hard as they mutter away in singhalese pf which my knowledge is limited to hello and thankyou at the moment!
We took the day off yesterday. It was full moon which is a holy day so it was a public holiday. We went to a hotel for the swimming pool. It was so nice to lie by a pool and tan for the day. Dont think ive ever been in a pool so warm, it was warmer than our shower! Excitement of yesterday had to be my amazing find! I noticed that one of the cafe's had diet coke. Sounds daft but you cant get diet drinks ANYWHERE! It was the best 160 rupees (just less than a pound) ive spent!
Anyway, im off to grab some lunch before teaching.
cya
