I got up on Thursday morning, made myself a quick breakfast and finished packing up all my stuff. I caught a taxi from outside the apartment and waved goodbye to Fairoz, with a promise to visit next week. I then spent the next 40 minutes in chock-a-block traffic, as we tried to make our way to the bus station. Luckily I had left plenty of time and I arrived at 9 o'clock to pick up my reserved ticket for 9.30. At 10 we finally set off for the Cameron Highland...

As I am heading off to the Cameron Highlands on Thursday, I thought I ought to make the most of my time in hospital this week. This got off to a great start when I wasn't even allowed into theatre Monday morning due to a VIP undergoing surgery in theatre 5. Not dissuaded I went downstairs to the emergency theatres and sat in on a couple of c-sections. By lunch time I was allowed back in upstairs and got to do a few inductions from start to finish and watch ...

Opting for a less conv...

Continuing along the river we crossed it into the city centre and visited the numerous museums dotted around. From the customs museum, housing illegal items that had attempted to be smuggled into the country, to the maritime museum with ...

I woke to the sound of torrential rain and grabbed my coat out of my bag as I packed up the last of my belongings. The hostel were kind enough to allow me to leave my bags in the hall until I finished work so I braved the rain to reach the hospital. Despite all the water outside I arrived to find all operations postponed due to a failure in the water supply. Once it was restored a busy day began. I spent the morning moving from theatre to theatre as patients came...
