On completing my 3rd and 4th week, I began to understand what the practice of a Junior doctor entailed. My routine in this week involved early morning ICU rounds, pre-rounding on my patients , team sign in meeting and devotion, and major ward rounds. After which I proceeded to implement and document the plans for the patient and other changes. Later in the day, the call team would schedule a meeting in which the whole team would sign off to them for the night.
The major take away from my brief time of practice as a junior doctor was that I am the mouthpiece of the patient. In that, I had to learn to be keen on the patient’s concerns and problems and voice them out clearly. Failure to do that adequately would affect the comprehensive care the patient would receive. Therefore it stands on the junior doctor to be abreast with the disease conditions and or syndrome to know what to look out for to be addressed.
During the 3rd weekend, to Kisumu which is about 5hrs from Bomet to visit I friend I made in China. I did enjoy my time in a different city. I visited the Dunga beach spent and spent the rest of the time catching up lost moments.
On the 4th weekend I went for a safari to Maasai mara. I was intrigued by the vast land and sightseeing of many animals. I wondered how these animals cared for themselves and survived. I totally believe there’s Indeed a God that takes care of them.
At the mara, I paid a visit to the Maasai village and experienced thier indigenous and peculiar culture.
