Station M/I

Station M/I, a neurological ward.This was the place I actually learned the most.Mostly the patients had neurological diseases like MS,ALS,Huntington,CIPD and NMO.Many of them had a tracheastomy and they needed 24 hour monitoring. I spent 1,5 months there,learned a lot about medication and taking care of neurological patients.

One day I was asked to join to watch different operations,including ultrasounds and PEG-operations.Those were extremely exciting to see.Nurses and doctors on this ward were nice and polite.I got to join nursing totally in english which was very welcome after those wards with only german speaking people.

In addition,I spent 3 days in apharesezentrum which is a unit where plasmatransfers for neurologically ill patients are made.This was an interesting experience and I am grateful to those people who welcomed me to see their work.

Travelling in Germany

I feel the urge to write something about travelling inside and outside of Germany. Having freetime is also important during an exchange. During my time here I have visited few places in Bayern area, including Blaubeuren,München,Dachau,Garmisch-Partenkirchen,Stuttgart and of course getting familiar with the city of Ulm was important.Travelling in and from Germany is not highly expensive if you know where to search.Because of the location, many places are near.Here are few pictures from Ulm,München,Berchtesgaden and Blaubeuren:
