Well, another busy day at the office. Started at 8.30am and was still working at 6.00pm. The last case was just too interesting to miss especially as I was scrubbed for it, but all the cases have been interesting and not the sort of thing I tend to see in the UK mainly because our healthcare system means that we go to the Drs much earlier.
Here people have to pay to see a doctor and most can't afford it which is why they come to Mercy Ships in the first place. it's not unusual though for a patient to have waited several years before seeking help.
I still haven't got my nose out of the door yet today but as a theatre team we're meeting for breakfast on Deck 7 (there are 8 altogether) where there are suitable seats and tables for us to sit round so I'll get fresh air tomorrow. I might even manage to pull on my running shoes in the morning. The ship is moored in a harbour with about a quarter long dock. it's warm out but at least a few laps will get me going.
You'll just have to read tomorrow nights episode to see if I made it!
