Physicians for Human Rights, by blogger of the month, Sam Nesemann

This past weekend my roommate, Kyle, and I went to the West Bank to shadow doctors working with PHR.  PHR stands for Physicians for Human’s Rights.  They travel to the West Bank and Gaza providing healthcare for people who are underserved.  The experience was incredible.  We all met outside Tel Aviv and drove in in two vans.  We first arrived at a sort of municipality building and were introduced to the town.  We then drove to a school where each doctor set up in a room to see patients.  Drugs were brought in the van and a pharmacist set up on the second floor.  I followed an internist from Belfast up to the third floor with a translator who I had just found out knew of my sister as they have a mutual friend from University in Scotland—small world.  The cases we saw varied from normal tonsillitis to an 8 year-old boy with blood pressure of 160/80, and a young girl with no eye-brows, eye-lashes, and losing more hair with normal thyroid hormones.  Too many people to see set up shop outside the rooms and a few tried to push their way in each time the doors were opened.  At one point the Mayor came in to personally thank the Doctor and have a picture taken with them.  I don’t know if he did it with every doctor, but I would assume so.  The entire time, a guard from the town was helping us with translating more cultural nuances, and advocating a bit for himself by asking for medication for a peptic ulcer in a seemingly half-joking way.  We worked for several hours without a second for a break.  I helped where I could (which wasn’t too much since I’m still a first-year) and shadowed the rest of the time.  Once we were finished we headed back to the municipal building and had a dinner with all the doctors and several people from the town.

The experience was an incredible opportunity to get a taste of a global health experience.  I HIGHLY recommend to any future students to jump on the opportunity to volunteer with PHR.  - blogger of the month, Sam Nesemann

Fiddler on the Roof, by blogger of the month Sam Nesemann

The other week we went to see a production of Fiddler on the Roof that two of our classmates were in.  It was a fun time and a good showcase of the amount of time you have to do things beyond medicine.  Medical school isn’t a walk in the park, but it isn’t a death sentence either.  You have time, if you use it wisely, to explore hobbies and passions other than medicine.  I’d argue that it helps keep you balanced and allows you to learn more easily.

In global health we are presenting the research that we did last semester.  The presentations were good to solidify the knowledge we had gained and a great opportunity to practice advocating (which, as future global health physicians, we will probably be doing quite a lot). Our instructor can be tough, but she has an incredible wealth of experience, knowledge, and skill for us to learn from.  Overall, second semester is moving faster and there is more to learn, but it’s still a really great experience.  Plus, you are in Israel, which, to me, is an incredible bonus.  - blogger of the month, Sam Nesemann

"Every day is Valentine's Day at MSIH", by blogger of the month Shauna Dunton

Valentine's Day

The middle of February marks our 6th month of attending the Medical School for International Health, of living in Be’er Sheva, Israel, of knowing and growing very close with our classmates, and of being far away from our loved ones at home.

Our time here is truly flying by.  We have learned so much and we have gotten so close to one another in such a short time.  In fact we have become so close as a class that we find any excuse to spend more time with each other which is quite incredible considering we spend eight hours a day with each other at school already, not to mention that most of us live together. For example, we recently celebrated Valentines day together as a class by having a “breakfast for dinner” Valentines Day Feast complete with card signing for each and every student in our class. There were heart shaped pancakes, french toast dyed pink, and loads of loving glances at one another as you might expect at such an event.

In other news, this past Thursday, two of our classmates played in Light Opera Group of the Negev’s production of Fiddler on the Roof. It was an amazing production and about half of our class came out to support them in this great endeavor. The acting and the dancing were spot on and I know we’ve all got those catchy tunes still stuck in our heads a week later.

Fiddler on the Roof

Last but not least, on Monday night a group of woman from all years of MSIH put on a spectacular production of the Vagina Monologues. I had watched a production of the monologues performed at Colgate University where I went for undergrad, but as another student in our program pointed out, it was quite powerful to see this production done by an array of multi-talented women that are all going to become doctors.

Vagina Monologues

You might think at this point in my blog post that we may not realize that we are here to study medicine, but believe me, we do! I will elaborate on all the things we are doing in the classroom in my next blog post.

Until then, lehitra’ot!                                                 - Shauna Dunton, 1st year blogger of the month

Global Health Clinical Session and Umm Batin, by Sam Nesemann

Last week we had our weekly clinical class (pictures attached).  It’s about three hours or so of observing/interviewing patients every Wednesday morning.  This time it was during a sandstorm, which, if you come here, I’m sure you’ll get to experience for yourself.  We started off meeting a Bedouin man who told us about some of the Bedouin’s cultural history.  Then we headed to the local school to talk with the principle about education in the community and the superintendent happened to be there and joined us as well.  Later we were able to sit with a woman who used to work at a local clinic before her funding was cut.  She explained the difficulties imposed on her in regard to providing care now.  We asked things like, “can you go to the people’s houses or have them come to yours to at least educate them?”- something that would seem perfectly acceptable back home.  Unfortunately, in her community, this would be considered very inappropriate and isn’t an option for her.  These clinical sessions are all so different and all really valuable.

On a second note, there are also some pictures from our trip with the kids from Umm Batin.  Umm Batin is a small town about 20 minutes from Beer Sheva.  A few of us go there each week to teach english to the Bedouin children who are fantastic.  They are funny, smart, and we have a lot of fun teaching and playing soccer.  We took a trip up to Superland (a small theme park) this past week that they were all really excited for.  

Unfortunately because of rain the previous day, the park was closed once we got there.  Instead of being disappointed, they were totally unaffected. It was really impressive to me, thinking to myself that the teenage me would have probably complained quite a bit about the situation.  We’ll be heading there again one of these weekends though and I’m sure it’ll be a good time.  - Sam Nesemann, blogger of the month

Second Semester musings, by Sam Nesemann, blogger of the month

Sam, Justine and Chase at the Physician's Oath ceremony

These first few weeks of the second semester have moved incredibly fast.  The classes keep us (or at least me) much busier.  This place is amazing though.  It’s already getting warmer.  The winter itself only lasted about 2 months and was extremely mild (nothing like what we would have back home in Wisconsin.)  

Because of the previous cold weather and the higher amount of classwork (just finished a global health module on nutrition that I highly recommend to any future students), there’s not too many extracurricular things to comment on right how.  However, this coming week a good amount of first-years are heading to Budapest, the second years are putting on a second annual talent show, and there will hopefully be some hiking or camping in the South.  

We did get to go to Umm Batin again today.  Umm Batin is a town about 20 minutes outside of Beer Sheva that has a mostly, if not completely, Bedouin population.  We go there once a week to teach English and it is an absolute blast.  The kids are great, some are very very smart, and, for the most part, very well behaved.  We teach for about an hour and a half and then play soccer, basketball, or whatever is happening that day.  The kids love it and it’s a really good opportunity for them, especially those who wish to go to college in Israel or the States.  

This is my first blog, so I’m still figuring out what to write about/how to write it.  I think this is mainly for the benefit of prospective students. So, I’d like to say a few things to you if you are reading this as someone looking into MSIH.  A lot of people asked me why I wanted to come here before I left, and they asked in a tone of concerned incredulity.  The question was often followed by something like, “you know there’s a medical school 2 hours away right?”or something about how dangerous this area of the world is.  There have been several occasions after arriving here that I have been taken aback by the sensation that there is no other place in the world I would rather be.  I’m sure it’s not for everyone, but I can’t think of any other school I would rather be at MSIH
