    Internal medicine day 3

    March 22, 2018 on the Philippines ⋅ ☀️ -9 °C

    Up early again, back off to placement. Went to the female medical ward this time. Attached myself to the postgrad intern (kinda like an F1) and helped her do a few procedures which was cool. Even learned some tips from her for different things. Went with a patient who had a stroke to have an X-ray, which involved pushing her all the way to a separate building, still being ventilated by her relative, no portable X-rays here!
    Went back to the house and had a video call with Roger :) nice to have a catch up!
    We then had bbq and karaoke night. Gorgeous bbq food and mango pudding. Had a few drinks and then the karaoke began!
    Seemingly it’s tradition for newbies to sing. I was determined that I wasn’t going to do any, but eventually gave up and did a rap - numb/encore with Emma as my singer. It was actually kind of fun!
    Had a few more drinks and played some card games on the roof. Really fun evening and good chance to get to know people. Then to bed for an early start
