We finally arrived in Bangkok, after our long, >24 hour trek across the globe! We got into town close to midnight on Sunday night, and everyone was wide awake due to the time change. Thankfully, Khao San Rd (where we're staying) never seems to sleep so we got to catch part of the US-Canada hockey game with some ice cold Chang Beer!
Monday, we were introduced to the Emergency Department at Ramathibodi Hospital Mahidol University. Over the next 2 days, we received lectures about tropical diseases in SE Asia, advanced airway and RSI, and Thailand's EMS system. We also got to join in on rounds in the emergency room and check out their ambulances. Over the next day, we will learn more about toxicology, pediatrics, and Chinese acupuncture!
Of course, most of us have gone for a Thai massage in the last few days which is quite different from our massages. Let's just say its good to be flexible and its a little more painful! One of the nurse's husband does Thai massage and invited us over to give us a demonstration in its healing properties. Amr was the lucky victim and it was quite entertaining!
