So I must confess, I’ve returned to the states nearly a month ago.\u00a0 It was hard to leave the jungle hospital…although killing two cockroaches in my room\u00a0two days prior to departure\u00a0may have helped.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I miss the warmth.\u00a0 Not just physical warmth (although that too!) but the wonderful open hearts of the Bengali people.\u00a0 The midwives and the medics and the nurses and the social workers who are all part of the team of helping people heal.\u00a0 The patients, especially the moms and babies.\u00a0 But it was time.\u00a0 I have not yet completed my medical training, although certainly two months in the jungle does wonders for one’s ability to handle certain things.\u00a0 Like the chief complaint “fell out of a mango tree.”\u00a0 Pretty sure I won’t see that one during my residency in the upper Midwest!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On to the next step of family medicine residency.\u00a0 I have a passion and have had a long, slow trajectory leading towards serving cross-culturally.\u00a0 We will see what happens in the future.\u00a0 Thanks for journeying with me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
