Peru day 7

Had a good night last night. We ate dinner in barranco. I had lasagna as ive had my fill of lomo Saltado now.
Afterwards we headed back to loco mar and had hot chocolate and dessert.

I've finally mastered making coffee or atleast am getting used to it. Basically you mix about 1/2 glass hot water with 3/8 coffee 1/8 milk and 2 packets of sugar.

Today we learned about lung ultrasound and ocular ultrasound.

Saw some sad cases. HIV, karposi sarcoma, tb meningitis... And HIV, cryptococcal meningitis.
Interesting one of the patients was intubated for airway protection - but wasn't hooked to a ventilator - just had blow by oxygen. Both of the patients were in regular floor beds without monitors. Crazy how different healthcare is down here...

Went to the inca market after class and had an awesome dinner at San Antonio's.
