Mat and I had the pleasure of breakfast with Prof. Patrick, Dean of Medicine. He is always thoughtful and gave us valuable advice on next steps for the anesthesia program. After that we visited Francoise (second year resident) and Paulin (anesthesiologist). The four of us had a delicious lunch at a nearby Chinese restaurant when a great storm blew up. Rain poured down and wild winds rattled the tin roof. I thought we might all blow away. We escaped back to King Faisal by taxi.
Mat taught Francoise extensively today, including cardiac echo. She is so keen to learn and it was a pleasure spending the day with her.
It was great to be with Paulin again with this wonderful humour. He says he needs a loading dose of "Canadianization".
I'm stressing Mat. He is teaching nonstop, has to lead journal club tonight, M and M tomorrow and run a simulation for the anesthesia staff and techs on Monday. I was pushing my "graded assertiveness" a bit too much by telling him he's overdue for a blog post. He promises to post tomorrow.
