At the Hospital days 1+2

i have had the most amazing couple of day at the hospital!
its been full on but more fun and interesting than i expected.
Day 1
so i got there at 8:30. i waited for about 20 mins for the work experience lady to come and get me.For some reason the other kid supposed to be doing work experience also didn't show?There loss!!
First off i was working in CT. You've probably seen it on TV its a big donut shaped thing that produces a 3D x-ray/image.It was really interesting, obviously i couldn't operate the machine because it was very high-tech and id screw it up and i couldn't do stuff with the patients as the really sick ones getting the CT scan. This happened to be where the sickest people in the hospital were.It was a little depressing as some people were quite young and were so sick.
for lunch i went to a cafe and ordered sushi and some how ended up with a turkey roll!? I couldn't do much as the lady didn't have good English and i didn't want to make a scene.I had a really good coffee though so that cheered me up!
next off i was in the general x-rays. It was awesome i got to play around with the x-ray machine and i got to help the radiographer do an x-ray of a foot.
I then just followed a few people around whop were doing all different x-rays.
I also got to go with two ladies to the emergency department and do a x-ray there with a mobile x-ray.it was a bit confronting as the guy was in a pretty bad state.
after that things were rally slow and there wasn't much to do so a couple of younger guys looked at some of the old really strange cases. For instance a guy who had got something stuck up his rectum :P and this one person who was made the wrong was as in her heart was on the right and everything else was on the opposite side of what it normally is, it was so fascinating!
i finished at about 4:30 then caught the train back to where i was staying.
i was so proud of myself for catching the tarn back (not a huge accomplishment i know but satisfying none the less)


Day 2
In the morning i was doing general x-rays. it was really cool and all the people were awesome.The wasn't much to do later in the morning so this mega nice lady said i could go with her to fluroscopy.Basically it is an x-ray but like a video, a couple of people where have some minor surgery things done and i got to be in there for that, it was an amazing experience.i had to where a lead suit to protect me from the radiation on the fluro machine. it was really heavy!
i had lunch at a nearby cafe. again i was kinda annoyed because i had some Thai noodles that were really flavorless and it cost me 10 bucks and a disgusting juice from a juice bar that was 5 bucks, such a rip.
the afternoon was petty slow.nothing much was happening so i just hung around and talked to some pretty cool people.
I left at the same time caught the train back and now am blogging.

It has been amazing so far I am really looking forward to the next couple of weeks!
