Trip to Christchurch Women's Hospital
Otago School of medicine
The school organized a trip to Christchurch Women's Hospital for students who are interested in going into the field of health science. It was a great experience taking a look at the hospital environment and getting information about what health care professionals actually do. It ranged from physiotherapist, mental health nurses, surgeons, radiologists and so on. And sad to say the life a doctor ain't like Grey's anatomy. Dream on! Ha Ha.
Xinny, tabs and I chose to go on the maternity ward tour because based on insider info, we were going to see lots of babies. But to our disappointment, we didn't get to see any of them. Notta. ziltch. Should have gone to the research centre tour instead. Oh well.
Anyway, my confidence in choosing health sciences (medicine) surged after the trip because of the 6th year medicine student I talked to. He was dressed in scrubs. VERY Grey's anatomy-esque. Turned out he was from Burnside as well! Awesumness! And from one Burnsider to another, he told me hints on getting to the right residential hall in Otago, how he succeeded and a whole lot of stuff. Apparently most Burnside students get accepted to St.Margarets Hall for some strange reason, much to the dismay of the St.Andrew boys behind me. They felt that people were biased to Burnside students or something. SWEET! Too bad boys. Ha ha.
Students from around the region came for the talk.
