One of the most amazing experiences out there for wanna-be med students!

Last summer I spent one week shadowing doctors in a hospital in the Dominican Republic. I can honestly say it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life; I was able to watch caesareans, leg amputations, hernia repairs and other general surgeries. I also got taught how to take blood, blood pressure and how to suture. If you want to study medicine I can think of no better way to learn whether you are up for the challenge of being a doctor! Besides the medical aspects, the accommodation and food were really nice and I thoroughly recommend the experience.
