Hi all!
I'm really excited right now because I just found out today that Landour Community Hospital where I'm at this week has wireless internet. And, since I have m laptop with me, and it has wireless capabilities, they gave me the password. I've been online all afternoon, but when I realized it was almost 5:00 PM (the time the office closes and the internet gets shut off) I thought I should probably get a blog entry posted. It's been awhile since I could get on here, but I've been having a good time beigh busy. Yesterday was totally crazy. I had been told the day before that there might be a caesarean section and possible another surgery on Tuesday, but it turned out there were five! The best part, I got to see all five! The C-section was first, then was a woman with a cyst in her thyroid gland so a hemithyroidectomy was performed (partial thyroid removal), then was a 1 1/2-year-old boy with a scrotal hernia, then was a woan who had fallen and broken her foot (and of course it was repaired with screws!), and last was a woman having a hysterectomy. It was a lot to take in for one day, but I enjoyed it. Today wasn't quite as exciting since I just sat in one of the doctor's offices as he saw a few patients. Monday was pretty cool, though. I didn't actually get here until Monday morning around 10:30 AM or so, but that afternoon I went with the head surgeon to a clinic for the local Tibetan population. We saw 55 patients in four hours, so it was tiring but interesting.
It's 4:55 PM now, so I should probably submit this before they shut off the internet, but I'll hopefully be posting again soon.'
