Had my first full day in hospital today guys! It starts at 7:45 with handover and then its off to the medical ward for ward round. Once this is done its time for a refreshing mug of sweet sweet chiya and a sammmmooosssaaa! Beauty!
Then its time for the madness that is outpatients! Anything and everything walks through the door. We saw tropical diseases such as typhoid and malaria. But more suprisingly I saw a lot of 'western' disease like COPD and more shocking chronic liver disease from all the home made alcohol thats being consumed round these parts. Its called 'roxy'.
I must have also looked at 50 x-rays today, 49 abnormal and 1 normal. To quote Dr Theo, if its in the upper lobe on chest X-ray and your in Tansen the top three differentials are TB, TB and TB.
Lots of love gus

Edwin If you get up any earlier you may see your first sunrise..... As Aristotle (384-322 BC) said "It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth and wisdom". Of course you may feel tired the rest of the day.....
Stuart Hello from the Netherlands. I thought Aristotle married Jackie Kennedy? Don't worry about the wealth Andrew just rely on inheriting from your Dad! You'l be well equipped to work in Hartlepool when your finished. Take care, Stuart
Rick The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office. (Robert Frost) Pulling for you Andrew.
Nina I love your dad...
