Day 6: Chatham Hospital - Thursday 14/4

The day started at 6:30 am to drive to a sunrise meeting of Rotary Hillsborough. Yes, they get together at 7am for breakfast. We did our presentation and ate pancakes.

Filip and I went fishing, but after 2hours of catching nothing, we decided to shoot some guns. We shot a 38 caliber revolver, a sawed off riot gun (I think that’s illegal to have) and a 22 caliber rifle. Adrenaline was sure rushing true my veins.

We had another presentation for lunch and then Serge Diof was so kind to drive me to Chatham hospital while the rest of team went on a tour of Duke. Chatham Hospital is part of UNCH, but only counts 25beds and is really small.

Although they are really small, it was very interesting to learn that public transportation is none exciting and that people have a hard time to get to the hospital. Also do they have security problems, but they do have one security guard on site during the day.

Both in the drive (1hour) to the Hospital as on the way back, I learned a lot about the health care system from Serge and what his role was before he retired.

Getting up early was hard enough, but staying awake at the Durham Bulls baseball game was maybe even harder. Nevertheless, we had a suite and ate burgers. Luckily Tommy and Mary were tired after the 6the inning and went home.

Packed my bag, said goodbye o Mary and Tommy and went to bed.

Friday promised to be an exciting day... Supreme Court of Justice of NC.
