I love my job; I feel like I get to do some of the coolest things! One of my favs is filming Tuesdays and Thursdays when Dr. Fernando, the gynecologist who works with SI, goes to the little hospital here in Jarabacoa to do surgeries (cesareans, hysterectomies, etc.). Privacy is not really an issue in the Dominican Republic and we don't have to ask to film people--even medical patients. We're even free to be in the operating room whenever we want, though they did ask that only a female film during those kinds of operations.




These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago. This was my first time to film a c-section and the whole thing was rather fascinating, but I've also seen enough to decide I'm NOT having c-sections when I have my own kids, if it can be avoided!

Dr. Fernando is the one on the right:

We had two American students with us this particular day (on the right):

I've never worn scrubs before, so I just had to take a picture of myself!
