First week in Thailand

All is well here in Surin. My time in Cambodia and the trip to Surin were very interesting and all went smoothly (except the car ride!).

We started in theatre this week, but had Wednesday off because of the holiday, so went to see the elephants. Have seen some very interesting operations and we've all helped in some caesarian section births. Jenny and I had an unpleasant experience on Tuesday night when we saw an accident between a scooter and a bike and were the only ones to do anything. We found out today that both victims are recovering reasonably well, which is good to know because we were afraid that one of them was going to die as he had pretty bad head injuries.

We're off to Ko Samet tonight for the weekend with Kae and the QLD nurses, so it should be a lot of fun!
