RGH day two

Another overall good day, which is surprising because I don"t usually have two good days in a row...
An interesting ward round with some nice patients, a good mix of simple and crazy super complicated. A nice fun chat afterwards over coffee and cake (a black forest style birthday cake, yum!) and then some paperwork.
Managed to survive another scrubbing tutorial session (just because the RGH seems to prefer one of their nurses teach how to scrub, despite everyone already having done it at FMC...) without too many mishaps, and ended it all with an uneventful afternoon. Of course, I"m not sure of that last bit, since the afternoon is still going, I"m just getting ahead of myself.

Oh, exciting news! I have a new housemate! From what I"ve determined from a phone message from the Associate Dean of the Village, she is a 22 year old German student. From what I"ve determined from items in the fridge, she like anticoagulation.

I really should probably clean up the place...

The Repatriation General Hospital

First day at the repat, and it was a good one!
Great intern, friendly and very willing to teach! She taught me and a fellow student to put in a NG tube which was an experience... Especially with the 315mL of lime green aspirate...
Great RMO, friendly and laid-back! Was very relaxed and welcomed us and explained how things worked (before the intern arrived).
Great registrar, friendly and with a good sense of humour! Also very willing to teach and has already organised a teaching session with us.
We haven"t met the consultant yet who, from what we"ve heard, may be quite scary and intense, but also a good teacher.

Overall, I"m looking forward to the next four weeks, especially with the free coffee (which will be a bit of a change from FMC) and occasional breakfasts and lunches that will be provided to us!
