Nothing Wrong with Normality

Tuesday, July-20-10

Last night’s shift was certainly nothing special. It was probably my quietest shift so far with just two calls. The first was for an old man with a high fever. The family wanted to pay extra for him to go to hospital near Rishon LeZion which was fine, just the call ended up taking almost 2hrs in total. The second was for a lady in A. Fib and by the time we took her downstairs the נט''ן-natan (ICU) team was waiting for us.

The rest of the today was also uneventful. I slept a bit, did some things around the apartment, and did some shopping. I really enjoy that each day doesn't have to be epic. I’m much happier not trying to do as many shifts as humanly possible and not trying to attempt to do something special each day just because I’m in Israel. One of my favourite things about the last two months has been how normal it feels to be living here. Tomorrow we are all heading back to Jerusalem for the annual ceremony in memory of Yochai Porat (who the program is named after) and we will be receiving our certificates. I can’t wait to see everyone and if it doesn’t go so late I might make a day out of it and go to the old city. Although we’ll see since I’m working the overnight as well.
