Woke up at the usual time, feeling extra tired though as I woke up wide awake for a while at 4.30am and couldn’t get back to sleep for a bit.
Rather than a handover today there was a presentation on neuro examination. This should probably have been reasonably interesting but the doctor presenting didn’t seem to really know what she was talking about. After about 45 mins there was a power cut across the whole hospital and so the residents all just seemed to decide that that meant the end of the presentation and headed off to the wards. We weren’t sure where to go and so we contacted Grace (the work the world internal medicine contact). She didn’t want us with her in outpatients and so sent us back to ICU. We explained that we had seen all the patients in there and so she sent us to male medical ward 1. The doctor for that ward wasn’t there and so she rang them, to which they said can we come back in an hour. At this point we were getting quite fed up and so we decided to go for a coffee and ice cream and to go buy some more data top ups for our phones - 300 pesos (£4 ish) for 2GB! We sat and chatted for a while and then headed back in. There still wasn’t particularly much going on so we read through a few patients notes and wandered around the ward. We tested each other a bit on the stuff we were reading which was quite useful. We then decided to go home and get lunch.
At around 1pm the housemates all met up and we took taxis over to a resort called Bearland. It’s about a 30-40 min drive away but has an infinity pool and pool bar! This place was lovely. We chilled there all afternoon drinking cocktails and taking lots of fun photos. There was also a jacuzzi which was great! It started to rain at one point and so we all hid our bags under an umbrella but carried on hanging out in the water. We ended up having to wait quite a long time for taxis back which got a bit annoying but got there in the end. We came back and grabbed food and then I headed to bed as I was super tired and maybe a bit tipsy from the cocktails! 🙊Read more
