Here's looking at you, kid.

Twenty-five posts written, and I still haven't said much about what it is we're here for. Well, to remedy that: the plan is to be here in Kampala for six weeks total, two weeks apiece for clinical rotations in psychiatry, pediatrics and obstetrics/gynecology. In short, seeing how things are done here.

However, it is with mixed feelings that I say that we've now started pediatrics. On the plus side, I find the specialty very interesting. I mean, it's easy to think of kids as adults in tiny packages. But try getting a two-year-old with vague symptoms to tell you where they're hurting, and you'll quickly find out that they're anything but.

It's a specialty that gives you a touch of everything from adult medicine, while at the same time being entirely different from it. Massively fascinating stuff.

The minus? Starting pediatrics means that we've already finished one-third of our time here. Time flies way too fast. I feel a mid-life crisis coming on.
