Well no one appears to have blogged for ages!! Obviously having way to much fun without me!
Weekend: Overnight train trip was very exciting - triple bunkbeds on the train!!We had a lovely weekend in Timisoara - its an beautiful city with a fairy tale church right in the centre of town!
(Look!! I've managed a picture!! i'm in shock!!)
Then we went to stay with some contacts of zoezoe's who run a charity with street children in Arad (1hr from Timisoara). We went to meet the woman at the train station - she was surrounded by a mass of gypsy people (its probably very politically incorrect to call them that)! It was awesome! We later went and played with abandonned babies in hospital and went to a gypsy "village" (about nine houses) built around the above ground gas pipes. We went with the woman's daughter who is a medical student and was treating some of the gypsies who had cuts and burns. So i got to hold bandages and stuff which was exciting! But it was sad at the same time to see the conditions in which the families were living - never seen anything like it before in Romania.
We are thinking about going back up to Arad to do a bit more work with the charity there in one of our free weeks at the end.
Doctoring quote of the week:
Consultant "what are you doing?"
SHO(very proudly) "I'm talking to the english students about Eminescu" (Eminescu is a famous Romanian writer)
Consultant "Why aren't you working?"
SHO (very very suprised) 'Working!!??!!"
Hilarious the SHO seems to have an aversion to work - he never quite seems to know what he is meant to be doing or which patients are his! That's going to be me soon!! Haha - Hospitals beware!!!
Anyway our consultant guy is away for the next two weeks...so two weeks free to er...uh...Work on our projects of course!!!
We had a lecture this morning on Cystic Fibrosis from the world's number one CF consultant from Imperial College London, UK! It was truely informative and joyous! Zoezoe and I were proudly presented to him at the end, he asked us what our project was on and I was like "er well its just a project i don't know er...um... we're just writing a load of rubbish really" then we ran away!
Think thats about all for now.
I'll love you and leave you.
