Today I worked in the emergency ward again. Before I tell you about that, however, Michelle Churchman requested a shout out and an explanation of the food I have been eating. Well last night my host family made us our first honest African dish. Keep in mind through this that Kelsey, who I am living with, is a champion of all things spicy considering she goes to school in New Orleans. Well, dinner last night was rice and on the side was some kind of spicy stew. I am not exactly sure what was in it; fish, tomato, beans, onion, and something that made it SUPER SPICY. So, I tried to dilute it with a half a pound of sugar just so I could smell it without crying, and even that did not work. By the time I had added enough sugar to it to the point where i could handle it Kelsey was already done. I would also like to note that after eating half of it I had already finished a liter of water. For those of you who are saying in your heads that water makes it worse: try to find milk in Ghana. I am such a wimp. More to come on my attempts at being Ghanaian.
So the emergency ward today was pretty neat. I shadowed a female doctor who had gone to medical school in Russia. Mr. Parchment, you asked if Ghana had any medical schools. It has 4, however, all of the doctors I have met have gone abroad for their studies so I cannot speak to the success of the doctors who graduate from their. That being said there were only female doctors there today! I even met an African physician's assistant from the surgical ward! A note to any PA students reading this; if you are interested in doing something like this you can shadow PA's here!
In the emergency ward today I saw some interesting things. First, there was an older gentleman there who had a pretty frail frame, but his stomach was so ...

I have now realised that it is not long now till I leave to come to Romania.
Everything is now coming together and I am getting very excited to experience so many new things . I already have a feeling that I have triggered the travel bug inside .
I am really looking forward to going to Romania and assisting the staff and children at the orphanage, I think it will one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I know I will gain such a great deal from this visit and I think it will completely change the way in which I view things once I return.
