The Doughnut Treatment

21 July 2008

Some time last week, I woke up with a throbbing headache and could not go to the hospital. Some time in the afternoon, Linda had to run an errand and I said I’ll tag along since I’ve slept the entire morning and was feeling better. I wasn’t allowed to go until I took ibuprofen, but […]

Two Weeks On

18 July 2008

This is the end of week 2 of my elective, things have been going relatively alright. Well, not one of my best rotations, but well, average, I suppose.

Landed at about 9.30am yesterday morning and got through immigration and custom without much hassle, even the queue was bearable! Custom and quarantine checks […]
