Wow, i really can't express how quickly time has gone by. i thought i had just recently posted an update, however, it's been three weeks. tomorrow is my last day at my praktikum, and as is custom for such an event, i baked a treat to bring for everyone. being an american, i figured it would be a good (and easy) plan to make chocolate chip (or chuck in my case) cookies. What have i been doing? some of the interesting things include observing various procedures in the hospital (e.g., the meter long butt-cam) and i have been allowed to perform/assist by several. the other day, i punctured the belly skin and pumped 4L of built up liquid surrounding the intestines- sort of gross, but totally cool. Another interesting thing that i did was go to Amsterdam. There i enjoyed the beauty of this historic city as well as many museums.
