New Zealand Sabbatical

I was finally able to work at the Darfield Clinic starting Nov 29th and got up to speed quite quickly with the help of the head nurse, Jordyn. I saw 12 people the first day and am up to 20/day now. Visits are shorter and documentation more concise so I can see more here than I did in Newton. So far I notice much less diabetes and better blood pressures probably related to the Kiwis’ healthier lifestyles and reduced rates of obesity. I am running an average of 3 miles per day and biking with Dianne often. Pictures below show the clinic and the single exam room I am assigned each day to see patients. The people are delightful for the most part.
