Ahlan ahlan,



It's been two weeks since we started training at the hospital.



I'm in love with it.. I wanna live in that hospital ="(



Seriously, everyone is so niiiiice to us., surgeons, doctors, nurses.. they are so cooperative and helpful and everything.. except for the head nurse of the operation room, who soo wants to kill us and feed us to the poor and grimaces whenever she sees us.



Anyway, we spent the last week in the operation rooms.. We "observed" many surgeries, which was AMAZING! Wallah I was high =D



surgeons actually invited us to their surgeries.. lol ma daro en e7na ma 3ndna salfa.



And the most important thing is that I actually saw a Cesarean section! Aahhh, at last! *teary eyes*



Bss afshal shay when they ask us about anatomy stuff and expect us to remember everything, and we go "aaa.. aaaa.." >.<>ER ROCKS!



lol apart from the fact that we saw an ambulance only once in the whole last week, it was really fun and interesting.. You know, different people, different cases.. And we get to choose when to go and when to leave. Bel3arabi 9ar ER aboona ;P



Although we were asked "not to enter the room please" twice by two different patients.. I dont know, they thought cause we were saudis we'd make a fuss or talk or tell other people about their problems.. They were uncomfortable to have us around.



Anyway, I have many swalif about el hospital ;p if I hit the 'start' button I'll never stop..



Uff I dont wanna go back to uni., el7een 7assait bgoowah ga9een 3laina ;P

Today I realized that I MUST work on my speaking skills! I suck, suck, SUCK!!!

My friend and I want to volunteer in a hospital during summer. So we made some calls today.. We both sounded like little girls and we both didnt have a clue, but because I'm a bit better than her I had to do the talking.
The conversations went like this;

- alo el salam 3laykum
- wa 3laykum el salam.
- momken mudeer elmustashfa?
- el7een 3ndu break o bydawem el sa3a 1.

I called again ..
