Each day I go round the wards with Ibu Ellen the matron for the wards. These are VIP, paediatrics and general adult wards; these is also the maternity department and A&E. During my first two weeks the busiest the wards have been is 10 patients but outpatients was very quiet due to the rain - it makes travel from remote areas almost impossible and locally very unpleasant. I am meant to just be observing practice, practicing my language skills and finding out how the organisation
works. However Ibu Ellen asks my advise about the patients each day and on a coupld of occassions I have found I have had to make suggestions for the sake of the patients. I am doing a lot of reading and spending time translating documents to try to understand what is happening. It is going to be a long time before I understand the paper trails - especially those associated with charges.
At the end of a hard day we relax - some more than others!
