Pre-S.Africa

Look at me - I’m blogging.  Believe me, I’m the one most shocked at this fact.  I tend to be a private person and wouldn’t think anybody would really want to know my neurotic thoughts on anything.  But I guess going to Durban,  S. Africa as a medical student and working in an HIV clinic is something worthwhile to share.

I wanted to do an international rotation because I wanted to know if international medicine/medical missions is something I want to do in my future.  I hope that by getting my feet a little wet now will help me know with certainity that this is something worth pursuing.  Aside from the interesting diseases and the different practice of medicine I will get to witness in South Africa, I am also excited to witness spiritual healing.  I remember reading somewhere that the people at this hospital pray for their patients everyday.  How tangible of a difference does prayer make in a patient’s care?

I leave this Saturday!  Enjoy and leave comments!  I love affirmation.
