Hey guys!!
I decided that I would post some pics today and give you guys a glimpse into Joburg and my experience at the Johannesburg General Hospital....
 |
| Tuesday morning Morbidity and Mortality Rounds |
 |
| Major Incident Trends at Johannesburg General from 2005-2010 The scale goes up to 900 people....take a look at their numbers! |
 |
| Hospital hallway |
 |
| The suture room |
 |
| This is where they keep the headboards for immobilization |
 |
| The clean, before the stretcher area |
 |
| The Lodox machine - takes full body xrays of most trauma patients that come in right away before they get off the paramedics stretched, unless they are unstable. |
 |
| One of the many different ambulances they have here! |
 |
| Inside one of the ambulances....very basic stuff here. But this is a first response vehicle. Most are paramedics that can start IVs, administer morphine, etc... |
 |
| Me and the crew |
 |
| Chilling outside the trauma bay |
 |
| Small world - this is Kevin Sawchuck. I bumped into him in the trauma bay and we started talking. He tells me he's from Canada. I ask where? He's like you prob don't know it, but from BC. I am like, well maybe I do, I am getting married in Penticton, BC. He says no shit, I live in Powell River. I was like uhmm...why does this sound familiar. Oh! Wait...do you know Jessica Bowes? He's like yea! I was like, she's my fiancee good friend and she's in my wedding! He is a student at the medical school here and is in his last year. SMALL WORLD!!! |

| Sofie eating my Toblerone after leaving it on the table outside while I ate my lunch. It melted in a matter of 10 minutes! She enjoyed it. It looked like poo. |
