Peadiatrics

Went to work today for the first time this week, the foodpoisoning got the best of me. I am better now, have been eating antibiotics since tuesday. Yesterday was a catholic church holiday so i got the day off and went horsebackriding instead. It was so great 4 hours climbing the Andes and all i had to do was keep myself on the horse and enjoy the ride.

Today i started in peadiatrics. Its like a reception, we measure height, weight and do all controls needed like the size of the head, coordination, do they know the colors, balance etc. and the pore things get their vaccination as well. Saw a 9 days old girl today, the pore thing was wrapped in 3 woolblankets, no homeservice here, like i know is in Iceland, dont know how it is in Sweden though. Here the mothers come for the first control with their babies 2 days after discharge from the hospital, then 7 days after birth, 15 days after birth and then 1 month control etc. I took a pic of their schedule and will put it on facebook later.
I almost felt ashamed of all the things we have att home. Like when kids come to the OR in Karlskrona we give them diplomas and stickers and if they are really sad they get a teddybear (is the same for the ER and ambulance). Today a 4 year old was getting his vaccination and of course he was sad after the injection, i mean who isnt. And its just jaja the pain will go away. No prize for being a good boy. It broke my heart.

Tomorrow is my last day of work and spanishclass. Next week i am planning of having a good time, maybe try some adventures. Still havnt tried paragliding so who knows what next week brings.
