so a brief update on last week then...
- had our midplacement assessment, looks like we're all passing (provided we don't do anything stupid in this last week)
- attended a very boring lecture about protein in nutrition
- had a very exciting lecture about burns with some nursing students - during which i answered a question about escharotomies. no one else knew what they were. i do. kudos to me.
- had that patient swear some more at me
- went home sick on thurs afternoon
- watched a physio induce some sputum in the sputum induction room
and now for the weekend update ( i promise this will be much more exciting)
- fri afternoon...half day! market then to the V&A Waterfront where i had springbok AND ostrich for dinner (didnt really like the ostrich, horrible texture, but the bok was amazing) then to cinema to see oceans 13. another marvellous film, i love the way brad pitt and george clooney interact with each other, its hilarious.
- sat morn...lie in! well, we were still up by 9.30, but considering we usually get up at 6.10, it was a biiig lie in
- sat aft... kirstenbosch gardens, fabulous weather, scones with cream and jam and a loverly cappuccino for lunch, nice walk (got blisters now) then back into town
- sat eve..ah... walked to the irma stern museum. it was closed due to Youth Day. went to UCT campus. also closed due to Youth Day. im not very happy by this point considering we've already spent half the day walking. loverly weather though.
- sun...church- rosebank methodist this time. i arrived 30 mins early (not on purpose) but was lovely weather so sat outside and waited. then into town to green point market, lots more walking, and cheese and bacon pancakes for tea (with 2 loverly large lattes this time)
and now it is monday. exam results are out, good news, i passed. more good news, that patient who swore at me last week, today was actually compliant (and NOT sedated!) and he even smiled. more than once. and, as far as i could tell, he didnt swear at me.
good times.
