day 10

Sadly my last day. We still don't have any data back from the labs - not surprising since having to process 72 samples can't be easy.

Ward round was fab as it was led by Dr Marcano who is a brilliant "internista" and took great histories and did some great teaching as he went on to illustrate the point that the history generally gives away the diagnosis. Which is probably the most useful thing I can think of, that a student should be taught, if nothing else. It doesn't take a genius to take a good history.

There weren't any new patients today, but I did spend the rest of the day doing about 10 semi-structured interviews, which was both tiring and interesting. Its mad how you can get by with spanish as basic as mine!
