The wonders of Jackson

Jackson being a county hospital has to be equiped to serve ALL of the local population. From the VIP rooms to the detetion ward, slowly I'm getting to see several ways in which health care can be delivered. Today I got to visit the detention ward of the hospital, appropriately named, Ward D. Now one of the peculiar things in the place is the $1,000,000 toilet. Here is one of the medical students checking it out (and getting a bit more close than anyone should have actually!)



This toillet is used to separete drugs from stool carried within the digestive track of drug mules.

Well, maybe by the end of my 5 year stint here, I may get close to seeing it all...

The fun of residency

So, life as a young doctor begins...
It's been long hours and lots of hands on learning.
I've gotten to operate a dozen times aleady, which is exciting.
Overall, it's been fun! And the fun reaches beyond the hospital walls. Last Friday we went to happy hour at Monty's then to Puerty Lounge. Check out some of my fellow residents, Mark (showing off my eyeware) and Pablo with ICU nurse Lori.
