Dia numero diez
Day number ten is officially in the books. It was an early one, as we had to meet in the lobby at eight am sharp. Today was a more formal day, we returned to Swiss Medical Groups hospital, Santario Arcos. Here we got a lecture about a completely new concept to us, Mutualism. We received…
Dia numero nueve
And just like that, we’re starting our second week in Buenos Aires. I can’t believe this is our ninth day here the trip has flown by so fast. Today we got back into the groove of our healthcare management. We visited Astrol, where there is a private university and private hospital within the same area….
Museums in Argentina
Lynnea and me!!!!! This beautiful day in Argentina began with a good sleep. Today was really the only day we did not have to be ready in the lobby at 8am, so I made sure to take advantage of it. I slept in until 9am and it was pure bliss. I ate the hotel breakfast…
Another Great Day
Day number seven is in the books! Today was by far my favorite day. We visited the town of Lujan which is about an hour’s drive to the West of the city of Buenos Aires. Argentina is a very catholic country, and in Lujan, there is a very important Catholic church called the Basilica of…
A Great Day in Tigre
Just like that day number six has come and gone. Not a day goes by where I’m not incredibly thankful for this amazing opportunity we’ve been given. But moving into my actual day, we visited a place north of the city Buenos Aires called Tigre. Tigre, like La Matanza which we visited yesterday, is similar…
Onto the next
It’s now day five of our trip to Buenos Aires and it keeps getting better and better. Today we ventured out to La Matanza, which is something similar to a county, like Bucks County. La Matanza is relatively close, the drive was about forty-five minutes West of the city of Buenos Aires. The first thing…
Dia Cuatro
How is it already our fourth day in Buenos Aires? The days keep going by quicker and quicker, and every day I gain a better and better understanding of the healthcare system in Argentina. The day started off to a rocky start. Our original course of action was to meet in the lobby at 8:10…
Frankenstein?
Yes, Frankenstein. Frankenstein is a novel written by Mary Shelley, a very well-known author, about a mad scientist named Frankenstein. Who, using some old limbs and a little electricity, managed to bring a new person to life. But what he created didn’t look anything like a person. Nevertheless, he brought it to life. And he…
First Impressions
Buenos Aires is a city like I have never seen before. One thing that really caught me off guard was the Argentinian’s homes. I expected them to live in houses like we’re used to, but I was wrong. In the United States, we’re used to seeing neighborhoods with spaced-out houses and yards. In Buenos Aires,…
