Open House on the Hospital Ship

The rest of us on the ship that are non medical had a chance to explore the hospital during the Open House. There were all sorts of activities to take part in.

For instance, dress up like a patient and have your kids operate on you.

Practice your stitching techniques.

Examine some specimens in the lab.

Learn and try to intubate a patient (dummy) from Nigel.

See if you can squirt water in the mouth of the dental patient (and get a candy as a reward!? This brings in more patients.)

The hospital wards on the ship.

The intensive care unit.

Patient washrooms as they are unfamiliar with western style toilets.

One of four wards (with hand knitted teddy bears on each bed for the patients).
