Day three
OK, so I'm blogging from like 2 weeks ago, hence the tiles have nothing to do with the content of the posts, ohg well, nimind.
So day three, the first monday, the start of work *shudder*
We were to meet Otsuki-sensei at 0840 at the party pad (our digs), he then got us to run in the horrible heat as we twirled out umbrellas on every third step, because we are that damn cool.
We had to buy umbrellas on the Sunday, the ESS told us to since it turns out we're here in the rainy season (duh!).
So yeah, made it to the med school with Takemi, then he introduced us to lovely Ms. Takemasa who gave us shoes, coats, phones and money (even to do laundry with, on top of the £80 meal card we got given, winning!).
Then we had to meet the Dean, Dr. Fukunaga, a bit of a legend with his nervoud hands.
But woah, really? Meeting the Dean? Us? Lowly foreigners with limited medical skillz and poor Japanese at best? Still, there was a guy taking our photos for the hospital newspaper. Apparently those photos are on their way to me, hmmm.
Then what happened? Oh yeah, we had lunch with all the hygiene people (Otsuki-sensei's department) and honestly, the food was pretty good, I'm still not convinced about miso soup though, and the pickled are absolutely awful. But nevermind.
After lunch, we got introduced to our various professors, Sam & Tom went off to their gay specialties and I got sent to Fujita-sensei in anaesthetics and got to wear the awesome blue scrubs.
Words cannot describe how amazing all the anaesthetic department are, I have to fight off a bit of a man-cry when I think about how nice everybody is. All will make sense when I catch up with this thing.
After meeting a fair few anaesthetists and seeing some shizzle go down, it was back home, buzz Sam & Tom's doors and head to Harow's for some discount burgers and whatever else we could find.
Then bed, in all honesty I was still completely knackered from the previous however many days of travel
And I was in at 0730 the next day.
Boo.
