Pediatrics in London: Dinner near Baker's Street

Today after lecture, Jess and I went out to eat at Comptoir Libanais, a Lebanese resturant near Baker's Street. Baker's street is famous for being the fictional residence of Sherlock's Homes. It used to be dominated by high class London residences but is now mostly shops, pubs, resturants, book stores, and cafes.

Jess is an amazing person. She spent 6 months traveling thoughout Australia, New Zeland, India, and SE Asia! I wish I was able to travel for that long. She even worked in a hosptial in India when she traveled there. She also had an amazing job working at the Yankee's stadium as a statistician for the broadcasters during Yankee games.

I was in general pediatric clinic today and saw a 5 y/o girl with hematuria, 14 y/o girl with migraines, 10 y/o boy with enuresis, 9 month old by with possible acondroplasia (dad noticed feet were disproportionatly short), and a 6 mo old boy with eczema. I don't have an April elective scheduled yet, and today after I read though the survey of electives, I really appreciate how chill this elective is. I see diverse conditions, some very rare, other very common, and feel zero pressure and zero responsiblity. I get in at 9:30, stay in morning clinic until about 12:30, go to lunch, then come back for afternoon clinic from 1:30-4:30. I can go to any clinic I want or A&E and thus no one would miss me if I didn't come, but I want to see as much as I can!

Tomorrow night, Diva and Luny are going to take me to Nandos, a chicken store that they've been raving about. They say all Americans love it and that P Diddy wanted to open a branch in the states. Sarah, Tess, Carly, and Gina are going to a dinner and a friends place and then going out in the city. I may meet up with them later.

The first pictures below are of our night out in Dalston. The last are of this evening.
