Third Tuli Mission today. Was able to operate on three kids. Spent some time as well on the triage station, where I learned how to take history and take a physical examination of the kid. Learned and practiced how to speak Filipino effectively -- and also learned how to be creative with asking so that I could turn the technical medical words into words or phrases that my patients can understand. As usual, high yield!!
Also got a needlestick injury. Accidentally pricked myself with a syringe after using it to administer anesthesia. Praying that I'm not affected by any blood-borne diseases... huhuhu. I will need to get tested.
