China

This trip was an eye-opening experiance. From the culture just out on the streets to especially the culture in the hospitals, this program was unlike anything you could find in America or even in other countries. Not only were we allowed into the patients rooms for checkups and pre and post ops, but we were up close for surgeries and got to see so much ! I witnessed multiple brain surgeries, multiple heart surgeries, an orthopedic surgery, multiple tumor removals, and we were allowed to stand where the surgeons were to see first hand what the surgeons were doing. On top of that, the surgeons were very friendly and explained each step of the surgery as they did it so that we could understand. Overall one of the best experiences someone going into the medical field could do for themselves!
