Today we serviced an operating table but i was not really involved becouse that was the first time i was doing that kind of thing. Then i was carrying a couple of things arround the hospital to different departments. I was kinda got lost, becouse it is like a maze in there and i took the wrong elevator and ended up in another place and it took me a couple of minutes to figure out where i was, so that was kind of funny.

 Today was the most interesting day of all. I got to go into the Operating room to watch open heart surgery. It was the most interesting thing that i got to see the last 4 years i was here. I like to call it a unique opertunity, becouse not alot of people get to see that kind of thing so that was pretty good. Then after i got to work on a hospital server,i just had to format the drives that was pretty much it. Then it was that time of the day, to go home.

 Today i did not really do anything exept regular testing that i ussualy do. In general the day went pretty slow and most of the time i spent in the biomed office. I also put some Id tags on some equiptment. That was pretty much my whole day

I did a couple things today. I tested some equpment, and solidified the way of how to do it. Discovered a couple of different rooms where they keep dead people. I might also soon go into the operating room to see an open heart surgery. I really looking forward to that.

Third Week Assighment

Describe one significant activity or project that you have completed or are working on currently.
As amazing as it sounds, there is not alot of things that i can just sit and work on, matter of fact there is mostly none. Everyday i do something different but most of the time i just walk arround with one of the people from biomed and just look at what they are doing and assist them in anything they might ask me. While they are wroking on something they explain what thay are doing and how it all works and comes together. Mostly all i do is walk arround and see how everything works and things like that. The reason why i dont do anything on my own yet, well most of the time there are no things that i can work on by myself and another is becouse mostly there things that happen are little things, like fixing a call bell in a patients room, or even better collecting old pumps from all over the hospital and even that i have to be with someone. In general there are no projects to work on individualy, since internship started i just been walking arround the hospital and testing medical equiptment for electrical safety and to see if they function properly.
