A quick update...

This time my absence was completely unavoidable. My first week of working at the village has ended, and it has been frightening, chaotic and hard! Having to be the one that MAKES the decisions for the patients' treatment, rather than the one who simply observes things happening, is really terrifying and it requires a lot of guts... and responsibility... and knowledge... and empathy... and I am working on all four.


I don`t know when I`ll be able to post again, since there is no internet connection at the village and I am on call almost every day (meaning I can`t leave and go to Mytilene, of course!) so it may be a while. Nevertheless, I will be thinking of all of you, and I´ll keep stalking and commenting on your news and life adventures, as soon as the Internet gods give me the chance.


By the way, I am now in Germany for the weekend, and having a lot of fun! :) But more news in the future! Take care and enjoy yourselves as much as possible!

    Hi Gracey! Thanks for keeping us in the loop and take care. I'll wait patiently for your posts. They are worth the wait, that's for sure.

    Auf wiedersehen!

    Thanks for the update! I watched my sister go through pretty similar stuff when she became a doctor... it is an incredibly demanding and intense job that's for sure!! But I hope that you find it deeply rewarding as well! Keep sending updates whenever you have the time! Ihope that you are having a good time in Germany!! : )

    Hey, where in Germany? Empathy is the most important thing. I think.
