This week started by scrubbing wax off a floor for 7 hours and then re-waxing the floors. Then it moved into bleaching hospital equipment, taking photos of bad hospital equipment, and photos of stretcher training. It also brought on my first drill as part of the emergency medical team. Today was a final push to get 60 people ready to give blood samples next week, and take 50 blood pressures of potential donors. By 5pm, I was very very tired but decided to go play ultimate frisbee in a nearby field. Best decision this week. A large group of us walked to the field to play and met up with A LOT of children following us. Two of us took the kids across the field to play frisbee and it was hilarious and fun. 2 hours of running, and playing, and laughing were exactly what I needed.
This weekend is the calm before the storm. Next monday starts our screening of patients with overflow on Tuesday. Wednesday is the open house for all the ship crew to see what happens in the hospital. Thursday I will be drawing blood from atleast 60 crew members to get our blood bank running. It is going to be craziness. I'm going to bed soon. Today I got a new roommate, and I haven't actually met her yet so I'd better go do that. Goodnight.
