Brain Tumor Clinic

Some Days are definetely better than others. Today I decided to join one of the famous Australian Neurosurgeons in his clinic again. Since he is so well known, many patients that aren't offered any treatment elsewhere do come here to see him. So he has got some really neat cases! And he takes time to explain things to students as well. Time goes by really fastwhen being with him. He had actually offered to supervise me before I came here, but since he is not a University professor that did not work and I would not have gotten credit for it back home...
Some of the patients we have seen today he will operate on tomorrow. That is pretty amazing! Come and see him today and have surgery tomorrow....The surgical schedule will be pretty busy though tomorrow and we will probably be in the operating room till after midnight.... I am still looking forward to that though, because there will be some really really interesting cases and some really exciting procedures. (two very malignant brain tumors, a probaly non malignant brain stem tumor - but a high risk procedure because of the location (probably 5-6hours), and two minor procedures) And as already said, he likes to teach....
I just worry a little about not being in the public hospital, where my supervisor mostly operates, but he is not around most of the time anyway, has not once invited me to join his clinic and as far as I know there aren't any surgeries on tomorrow.
I still don't really know 100% what is expected of me and where I have to be and what conferences I have to attend and when they all are. America may have been very stressfull and there were a lot of things to do, but at least after a few days I sort of knew what was expected and where we had to be and when we had to be there....
I tried to find the other doctors today after clinic was over and nobody was on the ward anymore. I left a note on the message board and I hope that is ok. They all communicate over the cell phones..... I don't have one and I am not quite used to the more relaxed way of doing things around here (and I am not sure if I like it - I hate incertainty!). For Example this morning we had a meeting at 7.30 and I was the only one there at 7.30, everybody else showed up after that..... But that's how things seem to work around here....
