In case anyone is wondering what I've been up to, take a look at this article from the New York Times. I haven't been around the patients they talk about, but it's a good write-up of the kind of attitude doctors take to health care around here.
It ranges from pushing someone out the door if you can't help with a Panadol prescription, to acting like the country's about to collapse.
At the end of last summer, I teamed up with four of my classmates to take internships in the small towns of South Africa. The trip starts ten days before my plane takes off from the misty li'l Pacific Northwest. It will stop on the tail-end of summer in the Johannesburg International Airport, South Africa. What happens in between, my only real plan is to wing it.
