Adventures as a Medical Translator
I forgot to blog about my 24 hour shift at the local hospital. Yes 24 hours, from 7:30am on Saturday to 7:30am on Sunday.
It was a pretty interesting experience. I shadowed the Doc who didn’t speak any Spanish and got to see some really interesting things:
- A self-inflicted bee sting
- A baby delivery
- A pistol fight wound (sans bullets)
- A bunch of other patients with varying illnesses
It was a crazy night. I only got 2 hours of sleep in those 24 hours and that was rough.
I was ready to be a librarian on Monday.
