When I was not doing health checks, I spent the day in clinic with Dr. Chungdok. He sees patients from 9:00am to 5:30pm. Despite the long hours and being the only doctor, there are a few nice things about the schedule…
Yes, doughnuts from the campus bakery is one of them! The kids aren’t the only ones with junk food problems! We did limit ourselves to one time per week though…
There is a chai tea break at 10:30am and the other is a long lunch break from 12:30pm to 2:30! Lunch is provided on campus and is delicious! In general, it is a combination of Tibetan and Indian food. Dal, Tibetan tingmo steamed bread rolls, fresh vegetables, Tibetan salted tea, and sweetened noodles. In general it seems fairly healthy and has more protein than the lunches provided at Delek. Because I’ve been running every morning and then do a 35 minute walk to TCV every morning, I really appreciated this.
Above is the doctor’s clinic room on the left and the dental hygienist’s room. Doesn’t she have a beautiful set up? It’s as nice as most North American dentist offices, and is thanks to a generous organization based out of Germany.
Above is the laboratory. They have the ability to do basic blood tests like blood counts, electrolytes, hepatitis testing and urine testing.
They also have a few inpatient beds for kids to spend the night. Most of the kids I met who were in the hospital were kept for short term observation for fever/cold symptoms.
