The next days

So just uploaded a few pictures.... have many many more, i´ll upload them to flickr soon and give u the link....

Last Sunday was my first day in the clinic of the Nephrology & Urology....
Its the most famous and best Hospital here in Africa. Only the best of the best doctors work here.
Inside you would never think of being in a thrid world country. Top hygiene, MRI, CT, XR, US, etc.
Everything works and people are a bit more reliable.

The teachers are brilliant so far, everyday we see something else and we get really involved into the daily hospital life. We talk about the "hot" cases , go through differential diagnoses and treatment possibilities. The doctors seem to like to test our knowledge and always ask us what we would do ... its seriously the best clinical experience i´ve had so far.

Tomorrow we´ll go to Cairo and finally see the pyramids & the egyptian museum.
Really looking forward to that. Our contact persons really take good care of us and planned a very extensive social programm. During the next weeks we´ll also go to Alexandria , Sharm el Sheikh, Luxor, Assuan and to some Oasis in the middle of the desert.

I´ll try to update this blog more rgularly now since i´ve finally found a internet cafe with a normal internet connection...

To sum it up : I feel very great, and i´m really looking forward to the next days & weeks.
I´ve seen things i wouldn´t even imagine to dream and i´m sure Egypt was a very good choice for ma exchange programm.

Take care, Chris
