For days i dreaded leaving Milot and the Crudem hospital. It was perhaps one of the most intense, moving, and meaningful experiences. I have been on the bus today napping, and thinking about "my" patients. The 50 kids we took care of on peds, and then the 35 women i took care of the past few days.
I dreaded saying the goodbye. Trying to imagine how it would feel top be in there shoes, a constant change of doctors and nurses coming and going. Building a relationship, and then then departing. I became quickly attached to many people, patients, fanmily, and Haitian staff.
I was afraid i would lose my composure when i announced to the peds ward, and theb my female tent that i was leaving. But by the time i made my last round at 8pm last night, i was so exhausted that it was a non-emotional goodbye.
I know it won't be long until I am back.
