a sexy 21 (thankyou health academy!)

ATTENTION THIS IS A RECAP
hey dudes its me again, so let me recap, lasime i rote i had just got to move in with my new host family and the next day i would work in the namphong hospitals ER
END OF RECAP


so my fist night right after i finished rithin my blog, i was chillin dowstairs just hangin out with my little host bro, watchin tv and whatever, for a couple of hours, the whole while my host dad is knockin back thai beer like a champ, hey whatever he does what he wants right?
so it gets around 11ish, my host bro has gone to bed, and i have to be up early for the hospital, so i go to put my guitar away, when my hd(host dad) , atthis point liberally inebreated stops me and sits me down, then he starts trying to speak english, try ing to tell me to sit there and not move after he was certain i wasntgonna excape he meandered over to his stereo and put on some thai music(its usually very poppy and upbeat) and comes back to me points at my guitar, and says you play.
now.


hmmm ok might as well i mean hes drunk so whatever i play wot sound too bad i guess, so i strted paying this blues kinda progression thingie i learned last week in the same key, and loe and behold it didnt sound half bad!
so here i am sitting in the kichen, beer bottles everywhere with my hd basting bad thai music, playing my guitar at arount 11:30 at night!
my hd was having a blast!
he was like clapping laughun and wavin his arms everywhere!
whenever id try to go upstairs hed be like mai mai! one more!
so i ended up playing for like 40 min with this guy in his kitchen before i finnaly got him to let me go upstairs and go to bed!
that was my first night with my hd.

the next day i strted work at the hospital and i met the doc id be folowing around, and this dude was hillarious, first off hes a ladyboy, and secondly he was psyhched to have a farang hngin out with him all day,!
he speaks increadible english, so we were able to talk about all of the cases that came in and out, nothing amazing happened that day, so im not gonna punish my fingers with the details, but the main thing was he promised to teach me to do some sutures when a case would come in!

hmm you know what in not gonn a go day by day anymore, cause welll im gonna write on the fly! be more freein my bogs! size the day! pee into the wind from now on!
(a little melodramatic?)

so befoer my hospital stories, i have to tell you gys about these things in america called "regulations" and "malpractice lawsuits" pretty much in ameica an eighteen year old whose worked in an er and or before might know some thingsdue to trainig an what not, but for the most part is there to observe, not to do the things that im about to tell you, man i love thailand!
and if you didnt know ive worked as an intern in the er in mercy san juan, and in the or at kaiser roseville, ive been trained in basic procedures and graduated the health academy at oakmont, so i know a bit about whats goin on in a hospital, and im not flying blind in there.


any ways i come into the ER on wednesday night(i went into kk earlier that day)
i drop off my bag change into some shoes, and walk in the door only to find the luckiest accident in the wrld(for me, not fo the drunk thai dude) here layin on a table in front of me is an already sedated motorcycle crash victim, well HE was drunk, would you still call him a victim?
idk
anyways this guy had 5 perfect looking lacerations all about 4-5inches long all over the middle of his left leg!
the doctor comes over says im right on time and pull me over to this gy, he does two stiches, looks at me asks "do you remember how i did that?"
i say yeah, he tell me to put some gloves on ans hands me the needle and tweezers!
ahhh!!!!!
i was so pumped i did a few, a little shakey, but after about four or so i started doin them no problem, the doctor just went back to reading the paper and let me finish up!
21.
21 stiches
he had 23 done, but the doctor did the first two.
i did 21 freakin stiches on this guys leg! and they looked very nice!


i mean it was almost sexy how cool it was!

right after that he asked if i wanted to scrubin on an apendectomy(take out the apendix) i said sure, so i scrubbed got dressed in the sterile gowns and everything, and stood right next to him as he pulled this ladys apendix out!
he said the next day he had a c-section to do and asked if i wantdto be the one to recive the baby from him, duh! oh yeah i said!
but it turns out she went into labor at like 1 am so so he let me scrub in on a srgery the next day where he tied this ladys tubes(ironic huh?)
just as he was finished befoer he closed the skin up he turned to me ag said hey i feel bad about you not being able to see the c section, so do you want to learn how to stich her up?
like i said before
so cool it was almost sexy...
so right there he taught me how o do surgical sutures, which are alot harder, but i mnaged to figure it out,
hmm
while im on the topic i might as well tell you about my other hospital experiance, he asked for my phone # so he could cll me if there were any surgerys that id want to see, so late sat night he calls telling me that theres a guy whos apendix has probably ruptured and he has to take it out, he wants me to come in, i say sure, i get there, scrub in, he starts operating, turns to e and askes me to hold the retractors(they keep the incision open while he does his thing) for him while he operates!
ok that was downright sexy, hot even!

ok enogh hospit al talk
ket me intro duce you to my new host family

Ma, is a very quiet thai woman shes nice to me
pa, likes the sauce, its great when hes drunk i mess with him and teach him english some how the words "refrigrator", and "vegetable" just get him every time! but you know atleast hes consistent....moving on
Maid: yeah how awkward is that! we have a maid! i go downstair to eat b-fast,fully intending to clean my room after i get a bite to eat, i come back and things are folded! i hate it, i can never find my clothes,and she puts them on hangers its frustrating, but she is a very nice lady all things aside
Ja: ive taken the libertly of givin this 13 year old an english name, i call him jack, it just rolls of th tongu easier you knoe?
ja sounds so abrupt and unfinished, like a hiccup, but jack is more pourpusefull i think. any ways hes a cool kid speaks good english, i sahre a room with him, he snore suprisingly loud for a kid that small
Non: honestly idk much about this dude, other than hes 18 like me, he just does. not. talk. to me at least, but im serous! this kid has not spoken five words the entire week ie been here, last night i tryed tosatrt a conversation, about vidoe games of all things!
and he just looked at me, put his headphones back on and went back to the computor!
whatever. jack and i are tight
