Hospital!

Today, I had a small taste of what rotations are going to be like in a few months. This semester we go to the hospital two different times and follow around a doctor as they go through their routine. Today, I had an orthopedic rotation though I did not get to see any surgery. All of the students rotating on surgery today got together and we went through the wards and rounded on patients. Got to see some pretty interesting stuff including a guy with MRSA in a leg wound, a lady with a chest tube, a couple fractured bones, and another guy with a nasty leg ulcer. It was a great experience and there were definitely a few moments throughout the day when I really felt like a medical student and not just some kid sitting in a class learning a bunch of information for a test. I am looking forward to my next hospital visit and even more towards starting rotations in the states!!!

Here are some of the pictures from my friends underwater camera of the sea turtles we saw in Barbados!

Enjoy!!
