Today I thought I would give everyone some insight into what our typical day is like. It usually starts around 6 am when people start getting up to shower. This is followed by a cup of coffee at the Haiti starbucks (see picture) which is little more than a coffee pot under a tent.
Breakfast consists of a power bar and we then convene for our morning briefing. This is conducted by the surgeon standing on top off the box.
We then break to go to the OR to start our day.
Lunch is delivered by truck and consists of styrofoam containers with mystery contents. I have to say I have tried a few and they are not that bad. We then finish the day either in the OR, rounding or in the clinic.
We usually have some time before dinner to relax and chat. Dinner usually consists of meals ready to eat (MRE), as displayed by Dr. Gore, the vegetarian meal was not bad, or the occasional BBQ held on the compound held by the UN.
We then usually catch up on the days events and lights out at 10:30pm.
Since this is our last day in Haiti, this will be my final blog. I hope all of you have enjoyed reading the blog as much as I have enjoyed writing it. We look forward to seeing everyone soon.
So long.
