Yesterday was awesome! We are currently waiting for day 3 in the clinic but our van isn't here yet...we have quickly come to realize that Ugandan's operate on their own time. Everything is very slow, laid back, and relaxed. Everything from conversation to walking to service at a restaurant is much slower than the US. Yesterday we were supposed to have a inservice at one, but it didn't begin until  1:45 or so.
Here's a brief description of yesterday...

• I got placed into the outpatient clinic, one of the easiest parts of the hospital at least in terms of how emotionally charged things were. Most people were coming in with conditions like post injection palsy (a paresis that is very common after nurses inject the trreatment for malaria into the sciatic nerve in the butt), and stroke. Conditions were just overall better than the wards, so I was kind of glad to begin there. It sounds like in the afternoons I will be headed to the wards, which I am actually looking forward to.
• I felt clonus! There was a little baby who had it. It might have been the highlight of my day haha
• I got to work with several little kids, and they were absolutely adorable. 
• I met a third year PT student from Uganda who helped me out in the clinic. I was amazed at how much he knew, and how much experience they are allowed to have from the very beginning of their schooling. He was impressed with how much we knew for only being first years.
• We went to an inservice that could have been a Dr. Bill lecture straight from home. Talked about management of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and gout. Mom- you would love it....we only dfrink soda out of bottles! ive had many cokes out of a bottle!

vans here...gotta go
