Day 3: Hospital Day 1


Everyone got a little bit more sleep this morning as wake up time was not until 7:00 AM and we did not leave for the hospital until 8:00 AM. It is funny that this year our members are always on time while the 2 bus drivers tend to be late. Good job you guys!

We headed out to the hospital and did our shifts for the day. My group was instructed to go into the OT (I am not sure what this stands for…Steven should know). Anyways, we observed a piece of infected skin got removed from someone’s leg. It was quite interesting, actually. Too bad this department only allowed us to stay outside and observed through the glass. Before our shift at the hospital ends, we got the chance to meet one of our heart patients, Hien. She is 7 years old and is adorable.







After lunch about 10 people stayed back to continue to observe surgeries, while most of us went back to the hotel. The guys and I decided to go out and play basketballs with the locals before dinner. Dinner was held on the cruise boat by the river, which was always pleasant.

Sorry that I've been behind on updates.

Over and Out.
