In the hospital

So it's been a quiet few days here. We have been attending ward rounds in the morning. I didn't realise part of the blog was missing so will update you on that.
We have 2 cuban doctors on our ward round. They don't speak very much English so Anna and I are using our limited Spanish to translate from Spanish to English to Pidgin and all back again! They are very intelligent but find it hard to communicate. I also think they are finding the lack of resources here frustrating.
Still have been able to see loads ore interesting things - yesterday I watched a test to remove bone marrow from a child, then a lumbar puncture, then took blood from a little baby. I also attempted to take blood from a child today but failed, the veins are so small!
Yesterday Anna wasn't well so I took her home before spending the rest of the morning in the hospital. Went back after lunch and spent the afternoon sleeping and reading. A big storm took over Honiara last night, the thunder was so loud we could feel ith through the floor of our balcony. So today has been cooler but it is still so humid. Finding it quite hard to cope in the heat. The other 2 girls moved out of the guest house today and into Kiwi House, the accommodation at the hospital. So it is just Anna and I, though only until Thursday when we will join the other 6. There are currently 2 medical students from Warwick in the room we want!

This afternoon all the other medical arew doing the theory for learning to dive. Seeing as I am not allowed to dive, I am going to snorkel instead. Currently we cant go over to Maraveggi island resort to dive as it is fully booked so they will be diving the wrecks off Guadalcanal, this island. So I am going to spend my afternoon by the pool reading my book and sunbathing if the clouds decide to go away.

Ok that is all my news from the last few days. We onyl have a 4 day week as we have Friday and next Monday off for Easter! yey!
Hope everyone is well
