So my time at the hospital is up! In the last week I've been in surgery - highlights include removing a massive cyst the size of a football from a womans ovary, resecting a pussy bowel and assisting on some caesarean sections (yay babies!). The surgery is unbelievable though - the gowns are all stained as are the drapes, to scrub in they use a bar of soap and the autoclave broke on Wednesday so there was no sterile operating equipment! Apart from that the procedures are the same apart from they are happening in a baking hot theatre - sweat was literally dripping off me when i was scrubbed in! I'm really sad to be leaving the hospital though, especially obs and gynae but its made me want to do developing world medicine so I'm sure I'll be back!
Other happenings...went to Nkhata Bay last weekend, absolutely stunning place at the North of the Lake but it was soooooooooooooooo hot I almost melted. Managed to properly burn my shoulders and back though whilst retaining snow white legs...it really is a talent.
Today I'm headed off to a music festival at Lake Malawi called Lake of Stars and I am pumped!!!!!!! Theres supposed to be about 3500 people there so not quite as big as t in the park but at least its going to be sunny!!!!!!!!!
