First Day in Clinic

I thought today I would be over this jet lag, but alas that was not to be the case.  Still jet lagged and did not sleep well last night.  Spent this morning shadowing Leah, one of the American doctors who has been here for 1.5 years.  Lots of patients who today were well controlled.  One boy will stick out in my mind a 18 year old who looks like he is 9 for issues unrelated to his HIV status.  This would have been treated long ago in the USA but he wasn't even able to be diagnosed until a little over a year ago secondary to access.

Most surprising thing: the clinic here is nicer than my continuity clinic back home and they are completely electronic.  Not what I was expecting.  

That's it for now.  More adventures to come...
