After 3 canceled medical trips since September, I finally made it out of town. I am with PCRF (http://www.pcrf.net ) again in Nablus, West Bank area of Palestine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nablus
We are staying at Hotel Al Yasmeen http://www.alyasmeen.com/.
Working at Rafidia Hospital. This is a you tube video that shows the hospital with the area I will be working (PACU/ OR) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHjNtLNbFDM
Our group will work on pediatric neuosurgical patients, V-P shunts, tethered cords, canioplasties (for you medical folk). I sure I will learn a lot.
I am in the hotel lobby with 3 layers of clothing, wishing I had more, the wind is howling but at least the downpour from yesterday has stopped. Breakfast of hummus, fresh yogurt, pita, boiled eggs, brewed coffee!!! It's all good. The rooms are fine but the ceiling mounted heater never gets the space from my head to the floor warm.
I am waiting for my co worker,Amal to wake up, we have today to shop.
