August 14th: Today was a bonding experience between only the attendings, residents and 4th year medical students. I did another rotation on general medicine, allowing me to see a good mix of ailments and patients of all ages. This was the first day of providing care to an entire family. Every patient I saw was accompanied by their spouse and children. I really enjoyed the feeling of helping and making a quick connection with an entire family. I ended the night by walking over an hour into the jungle with only a flashlight.
