#52 - Iama week 2 down

#52 - Iama week two down.
wow what a week, filled with new challenges, new experiences, and fishing.   It is Friday night.  I am just getting ready to put my pen down for the night, but I thought that Id pop on the blogger and air my reflections.
I went down to the jetty tonight and caught that big fish.  as I lifted it from the water, it flicked and snapped my line again.  But not before I snapped a couple of photos.  Some sort of shark, and a timely reminder not o swim at the jetty.  My line is rated to 100 lb which is 45 kg.  Now that is a big fish in anyones language.

The health centre manager has been away for the week, and it has been a laid back relaxing week.  after that mammoth 26 hour shift on Wednesday, I slept fir almost as long, and working today felt like some strange time warp, where Id lost a day.  I unpacked boxes that arrived on the SeaSwift barge.  Again, it was like christmas, as each new box had something better than the rest.  The real jackpot was a ventilator. An Oxylog3000plus arrived in all it's glory.  When the nurses unit has no TV, or lighting in the bedroom, and the clinic doesnt even have an Istat, I cant begin to think why a sophisticated ICU ventilator is needed in a remote clinic, with no doctor to intubate!!  but Im not complaining, just making a social commentary.  We scores a brand new 12 lead ECG machine that takes spirometry also.  Dont get me started on that one.

Tonight I was to be a movie night down at church too.  But it was pouring rain when I went to go, so  I aborted that mission.  I have a few jobs around the unit, so I might just do those, and have an early night.

I have 1 week to go on Yam.  The time has gone quick.  I feel so much more confident with ordering stock, and pharmacy items.  More confidence with contact tracing and STI checks. The core business  stuff that justifies the existence of these clinics is becoming clearer to me, and I really like the model of care.  I cant wait to have my family up here with me, so in 7 days, the big packing starts.  It will be another Island, and another set of circumstances, but I will have my support systems with me and God willing, they  will love it as much as I do.
