baby

last night was our first guardia at the hospital (from 8pm to 8am). All the doctors had said these are the most action-filled shifts and it truly was incredible. we watched a birth that happened really quickly and the doctor never made it...the nurse had only just put on her gloves and for a minute i thought i was going to have to catch the baby girl myself. in addition, there was a bus accident, a one-year-old with a bloated belly from a parasite and a man with a resistant TB case. we took a nap for a couple of hours on an old mattress and when i woke up there were definitely cockroaches on the floor assuring me that the hygene is a little lacking. the doctors were amazing and we worked out our schedule so that we can do a guardia each week.
