Hello Everyone. This will be my first time doing a blog to follow along with my travels. I'm excited to document my experiences and share them. I arrived in Cape Town last week, and have just been acclimating. Its been many months since I've just had some time to relax.
So why come to South Africa? Two reasons of many...
1) I was here during undergrad with a group of pre-medical students. We went to Johannesberg, Cape Town, Durban, visiting all sorts of clinics, hospitals. I fell in love with the culture and people, and vowed to return as a medical student to learn more.
2) I have like some 40 relatives that live in Cape Town. My mom's mom, Dorothy Roth (maiden name) Yach grew up in Sea Point, which is a suburb of Cape Town. She met my grandpa, Saul Roth, a member of the US army, during WWII when he was in the Cape Town port. After the war she left South Africa to marry Saul. So thats how I got stuck in the US...
Well I head off to Somerset West this weekend, a small city outside of Cape Town to spend time at their governmental hospital. Its called Helderberg Hospital, or Old Hottentot Holland Hospital. I'll post more once I begin my first elective.
