Clinical

Our last week of clinical provided us the opportunity to learn a broader view of the health care system here. We listened to a couple of lectures and took a few tours. One day we toured the podiatry clinic at the University and it was pretty awesome. It was a really nice facility. After our tour we played with some of the equipment there. It was a lot of fun and really interesting. Helen Fahey, a very nice lady in our ward took us on a tour of the GP clinic that she works at and taught us about some aspects of the health care system. Even though we didn't get to spend more time in the hospital, it was a good thing so we could learn more.

This is some equipment that we tried out. The bike was really fun! It had a screen in front that shows the course and it would change the rate if you were going up or down hill etc. The one in the middle moves around to check your balance and to align your hips, legs, and feet. The bottom left picture is a HUGE treadmill! It was so huge!



The University people in charge let us go back to the hospital to say goodbye to the wards we were on. Here are some pictures from the hospital.

Here is the lovely hospital we worked at :)



This is in front of the operating theatres (OR).


These are Carianne's and Michelle's nurses. Their uniforms are dresses, I wish you could see them better!

How many INFECTION CONTROL signs can you find???
