During my first 3 weeks I've been in the Clinica Medica or general medicine ward. The hospital is very under resourced, and has to make do with what is available but the knowledge of the nursing and medical staff is commendable. The nursing team that I worked with were very supportive, being patient while I tried to communicate in Spanish & always having time to answer questions I had. The medication preparation and administration is some what different & electrical equipment is very outdated compared to UK standards. The team & I really bonded and at the end of the 3 weeks it was sad to leave them. I bought them chocolates and a framed picture of the the group and I to say thank you. They bought in pizzas & we ate them in the staff room after my last shift. I told them I will visit them again before I left Mendoza for good.
