Nu börjar jag komma in i det. Några utmaningar dock: att hitta det sjukgymnastiska språket flytande på engelska. Att skriva journal. Att hålla mig inom tidsramen för varje patientbesök! Att skriva problem lists. Denna vecka fick jag gå en förmiddag med deras rygg-specialist. Han hade verkligen en imponerande samtalsteknik, ett imponerande sätt. Så enkelt, så vänligt, så konstruktivt. Jag lärde mig dessutom mer om red flags, yellow, blue, black flags. Det är olika indikatorer som kan finnas med i bilden för patienter med ryggsmärta. Röda flaggor är varningssignaler för allvarligare sjukdom, gula flaggor är psykologiska faktorer som kan utgöra en risk för att utveckla långvariga besvär, blå och svarta flaggor handlar om upplevda eller faktiska hinder för återgång i arbete. Jag fick även gå en fm med en extendes scope practitioner på ortopedmottagningen. Det är en ... read more

I knew I'd be busy this holiday but am a firm believer that a change is as good as a rest, and I do in fact feel very refreshed despite working on the stalls, and doing various admin tasks from home. Being at home has allowed me to look at my situation from a different perspective, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I've love being here, with my family, but there's stuff I miss about China. I miss how driven I am there. True, there's not a lot else to do, but I love that I get up and just get on with my work, whether it's studying or school work, or going to the gym. I like not having a lot of time to think, and I like that when ... read more

Saavuin bussilla iltapaivalla Glasgowhun. Kuten minulle oli kerrottukin, Glasgow oli ihan erilainen kuin Edinburgh. Kadut ovat leveampia, talot suurempia ja uudempia, ja jotenkin ilmapiiri on enemman tyolaiskaupunkimainen. Tahan asti olin yopynyt Bed & Breakfast -paikoissa, joissa oli vain muutama huone. Nyt yopaikkana oli valtava hostelli aseman lahella. Kavin noutamassa aseman automaatista junaliput, jotka olin ostanut aiemmin luottokorteilla. Kerkesin viela poiketa katedraalissa, ennen kuin se meni viidelta kiinni. Baareissa oli paljon vakea, varmaankin siksi etta maanantai on taalla jonkinlainen syyslomapaiva.... read more

Geo: 55.8656, -4.25722 So Dad dropped Raymie and I off at the airport and wished us well on our travels. I had bought the same bag as Raymie which thankfully had wheels on it, although I know I have far too much stuff with me! Anyway, we got our luggage checked the whole way to Bangkok so didn't have to worry about it when we arrived at Heathrow, the flight from Glasgow was smooth and we were soon looking at the biggest Jumbo plane that I had ever seen which we were getting ready to board. I was really excited:0 On the plane, the in flight entertainment screen's were on the back of every seat, you could choose from movies, music, radio etc. or watch the interactive map which showed you your location, height, temperature which ... read more

Okay, so it's been over a week since my last post, and now I've left myself in a bit of pickle because I have to have my entire blog entry done by 2pm (50 minutes). A lot of us are traveling for the next week and then coming back on Thursday, July 1st to pick up our stuff, so they are taking it from us today to lock it up somewhere. That said, I'm going to move on to my next entry, covering the 5 days of my Scotland trip. We left on Wednesday afternoon to catch the 2:43pm train from Troyes to Paris. We arrived in Paris and took the metro to our stop where we were to catch the shuttle at 8:10pm. So, we walked around a little bit, ate some food, and came ... read more
