Ho Municipal Hospital

Well, i can't say today we went to the hospital, because Monday was 3 days ago!

Ah 3 days without internet access is grueling in many ways.

Anyway, Monday was my actual Hospital work day!
I got to work in the OPD (The Outpatients' Department), measuring blood pressure.

The first few tries were not very excellent; I couldn't tell apart a heartbeat from a noise i made by accidentally hitting the stethoscope.

But as time went on, I got the hang of it and swiftly went through several patients. Interestingly, I learned that Malaria can cause higher blood pressure, so many patients with high blood pressure, could have had Malaria. Actually, very likely that is the case.

Jess and Fembe went with me to the OPD at Ho Hospita. The three of us worked mostly in the vital signs department and we had loads of fun there. The patients influx was enormous and the hospital was filled already by 10 AM.

Because of the trip I had over the weekend, Monday, i fell asleep really quickly. Probably around 8 o'clock.

Well, thats basically what I did for that day. Sounds very lame. But very interesting indeed!
