Day 19 – Friday

Day 19 – Friday

Today was a good day. I didn’t really get to do much, but I did interrupt the teacher a couple of times… oops. Still. There was something. He said I wrote really quickly. After 4 days I managed to finish my letter in 19 minutes. Another colleague finished it in 26 minutes and all the others in more than 30 minutes. Hehe. Yeah, Mr., I know I can write super fast, but what about the anamnesis?? Ughhh. I need to…

Day 20 – Saturday

Today I went on a walk with my colleague… And that lasted a little bit too long. My cake is yet to be ready… S***. Alexanderplatz, Rotes Rathaus, altes Rathaus, Bode Museum, DM :))) Rewe and ====>>> Home. At about 7:30 I was done so I went down to the Scheuch family. Uh-oh. They had guests. Their daughter and granddaughter. And they were making the Christmas tree… And here I am standing with my cake and tiny candle holder, which…

Day 21 – Sunday / 24 December

Day 21 – Sunday / 24 December

I think I should go on another walk with my colleague but I cannot afford to waste one more day. I spent my day studying the clinical cases, cleaning my room and looking for patient Aufklärungsbogen for different medical procedures. I am really not the type of person to get carried away with the holidays… Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Easter and so on… As long as there is something that needs to be taken care of… I do it. At…

Day 22 – Monday / 25 December

Today I went on a walk with my colleague. Not for too long though. I have to study… And that is exactly what I did today. I also need to wash my clothes. Washing and ironing. That was my problem here. Mrs Scheuch was so nice. A couple of days ago she said I could use their washing machine. But of course, I said no. “Noooo, no problem. I’ll just wash them by hand. Hehe.” Whyyyyyyy???? Why, C? Your sweaters…

Day 23 – Tuesday / 26 December

Today was finally the day when I had lunch with the Scheuchs. Their daughter and granddaughter were still here. Such a lovely child – their granddaughter… And so polite. She uses “Sie” when she talks to me. Haha. To me! Heeey.. I’m…C. Why do you talk to me so nicely? I didn’t say anything, not because I expect her to talk to me like that, but rather because I am too shy to correct a kid. If that’s how she…

Day 24 – Wednesday

Day 24 – Wednesday

Today went exactly as I had expected. The teacher remembered my request and so the day started with my anamnesis. It was good, but I had the tendency to speak too fast because my patient was a bit slower, and I forgot a couple of things during the first part, which I remembered later during the “Arzt-Arzt Gespräch”. The anamnesis remains my biggest problem, especially when the patient is a bit insecure. I find the last part of the exam…

Day 25 – Thursday

Today was a crazy day. I went to lunch, I had some sushi with A. By the way! I forgot to tell you about a great restaurant that I found  – Lebensmittel in Mitte. If you have the chance, please go there. Also right next to Spooning Cookie Dough I found a bunch of restaurants, they seemed cosy and welcoming. Fusion, Asian and so on… Then I went to Rewe to buy some sweets for my friends in Romania. I…

Day X – Friday

I am writing this from the airplane. I’m surrounded by Romanians. A lady wanted me to switch places with her daughter so that they could sit together… But she didn’t say anything… So I just asked “If if you want to I can switch places with your daughter so that you two can sit together..? Would you like that?” She was so happy… The flight started with a marche arrière. Even the airplane doesn’t want to go to Romania. I…

Day 0 – 30 December

Craiova, Romania. I was so lightheaded as I woke up… Where am I? Why is my room so small??? Whyyyyyy does my back hurt so bad? ……….. Oh. I am back here. If it weren’t for my mum, I would probably spend the rest of the day in bed. You know, I kept thinking about what I should write. Should I be honest with you guys or should I write something like “Haha! I am so happy, I’ve missed Romania…

Day 0.2 – 31 December

One of my VIPs suggested I should bake a clementine cheesecake. But that was while I was in Berlin… I guess I could do that today…and I think I will.     I’m not in the mood to go out. I think I’ll just translate my blog into English (haha :))) – it was initially written in German). Hey, what would you expect from me? A great party, clubs, dancing, drinking? Fotos of me – high and drunk in some Club?…

Day 0.3 – 1 January 2018

The days are looong and boring here… I got a phone call from a colleague in Berlin today J, the guy who awarded me the “supreme blonde title”. We talked a little about what we had to eat for New Year’s Eve… He’s still in Berlin. Lucky guy. Then I chatted a bit with S and A, my other colleagues in Berlin. S already lives there… I spent the rest of the day in front of the computer – I…

SOMETHING CAME UP!!!!! FINALLY!!! I just got off the phone with Mr Karbownik. Certa works even throughout the holidays!! It was about two Hospitationen!!!!!! I am so happy! He said he had already talked to the human resources departments and now we are only waiting for the approval of the Chefarzt. If we get it… I’m going back to my Germany!!! And something else: Mr Karbownik suggested I should start practising with another doctor… of course, I accepted!! He sent…

Day 2 – 3 January 2018

I woke up so joyful today!! And something extremely nice happened. Mrs Stade read my blog and she sent me an e-mail about it… I got a funny feeling at first… whoa… people are reading my thoughts… but she was soooo sweet!! <3 As always. :-* :-* Ooooh Mrs Stade!!! <3 At 4 p.m. I had my first talk with Dr. H.

Day 3 – 4 January 2018

Herr Karbownik called me today. He said I should receive a phonecall from a Chefarzt… buuut there’s a tiny problem about it… I won’t be able to do a too long Hospitation; I mean, I wonder what I should say… That I only want to stay there till the FSP? And then? Hmmm… So I already told you I bought myself a Teddybear from Berlin. Its name is Lin and he’d like to be your friend. So: World, meet Lin!…

Day 4

Day 4

As I went to bed last night I was soo happy. I thought I was going to receive a phonecall or at least an e-mail today… Something, anything. Nothing came. I’m a little blue, but I guess I shouldn’t be so spoiled… It’s only been one week since I returned. One whole week with no German air. I’ll just stick my head in one of the suitcases – it smells of gingerbread, cause I brought some with me… of gingerbread,…

Day 5

Today was a really boring day. I wanted to study a little in the morning, but to no avail. In the afternoon I had my daily talk to Dr H. She was really good, I was… a failure. Once I got the diagnosis wrong and then I forgot all abput the new therapy for the patient. Great job, C. You are „excellent”. She told me she started taking lessons from another teacher. I find the new structure from this teacher…

Day 6

Mum said she has a funny feeling… she thinks I’m going to get an answer regarding my clerkship. Hmmm… we’ll see. Today I had my talk with the other doctor, Dr M, who’s currently doing a clerkship in Munich. Her German ist super good, but the Fachsprache, hmmm. You know, I was the same myself and that’s why I went to Berlin to take the course. It’s of utmost importance to do that. Of course I’ll try to help her,…

Day 7

Certa is a Perpetual motion maschine. Da Vinci would be jealous of Mr Karbownik. Hihi. He made it. One „GO!” and Certa works 24/7… without any other stimuli. Today was amazing. Mr Karbownik sent me an e-mail this morning… regarding a clerkship… up North. Puuurrrrfect. You know, I couldn’t really say why I’m so keen on going to the North. As I initially came to Germany, I only wanted something in the South… perhaps West. But after my „alone” time…

Day 8 + Day 9

Yeah yeah, I know. Uncool. I’m supposed to write here on a daily basis. Buuuut I had nothing new to tell you guys and today was a pretty exhausting crazy day. I had to sign some documents with my mum, and that took us… 3 hours. Then shopping, then I had to have my hair cut (I must!! I needed it :)) ) And then I had a dentist appointment. Greaaaaat. And inbetween I also had to practice with the…
