My Draining Brain

Weeks two and three

I have well settled by now...attending morning reports, rounds with medical students and residents, attending and moderating seminars...

Most of the weekdays were spent working with resident and medical students. Morning reports start at 8 Am and ends around 9. we go to cafeteria afterwards. The cafeteria is located outside the compound, so you put your white coat by the gate with the guards.

I have one room with hot shower!!!

At the end of my second week I finally got a guest house that was promised to me…bummed about no internet assess at the guest house..otherwise nice compound except two dogs barking all night.

One of the dog just had puppies and did end up scratching me as I was waking by her puppies.Latter I learned the owners was giving away some of her puppies...then she started to be aggressive to strangers.

Does this dog has rabies??? .....hard to say

I have not gotten my rabies shot..and I have seen 2 cases of rabies. My scratch was small..no bleeding. I was able to observe the dog for 10 days...we are both health and alive at day 10 after the bit.!!!!!.I have learned my lesson
