week 2

Today nothing too special was going on at the hospital so I spent the day rotating around clinics trying to get a taste of things I hadn't seen before. I started in OBS/Gyne, but the consultant never showed up to do rounds. I then headed to optometry where I was able to observe cataracts, lumps caused by diabetes, ulcers, and inflammation in the eye. One patient came in who had been chopping wood and got a splinter in her eye. Her eye was red and swollen and it looked so painful. After that, I stopped by the surgery theater and got to observe a prostatectomy on a cancer patient which was very interesting. A slow day at the hospital, but I learned some things nonetheless.
