OUR PEOPLE, OUR MISSION Week 1 in Vietnam Reflection Written by Olivia Warren American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine, Class of 2023 Global Health eMagazine June 2023 Perspective Global Health Academy Highlights Reflections Welcome Global Local Hispanic and Latinx Communities Voices of Ugandan Students Global Health Mental Health Art to Rwmind Us of Who We Can Be I am sitting in my hotel room, with the window open, hearing the birds chirp, smelling the air and seeing the hospital from my window. My first week in Saigon has been fascinating and overwhelming at the same time. The city moves at a very quick pace, with a constant fluid movement of people going from one place to another. The unceasing of cars, scooters and people on-the-go is something that is unusual for me. I grew up in a quiet town in Orlando, where the streets and shops are closed and quiet after a certain hour; this is most definitely a shift in pace. I am handling it well though being that I have always been appreciative to see how other cultures exist in their respective countries. I think the most interesting thing I have seen thus far is how authentic Vietnam is. The people, the food and how people live here is very different. For example, I commonly see how families eat together and all eat the same meal during lunches and dinners. Common dishes include noodles, rice and vegetables, which has been a large adjustment for me as well. Eating together as a family has made me appreciate the dinners I have at home with my own family members. My time in the hospital has been eye-opening as well. I was in the emergency department the first two weeks and from day one I experienced shock in how different healthcare here is compared to America. Providers here are very resourceful. For example, witnessing nurses drawing blood they utilize a rubber glove as a tourniquet versus the usual tourniquet used in the U.S. I found that to be an absorbing moment for me. Patients who come to the ER are sick or commonly, victims of a bad motor scooter accident. Often patients are in critical condition, but the resources are not always available to provide them with care. The providers here utilize what they have in a multidimensional way, and I think that is something that I will carry with me for the rest of my medical career. I am grateful for my first week here. I am learning a lot in the hospital and witnessing so much! It has been humbling thus far and excited for the weeks Our Beautiful Planet Innovation and Technology Nursing Division Women’s Health Education Among the Letters Announcements Article of the Month Video of the Month Congratulations Phoro News Calendar of Events Resources ChoRay hospital, Emergency Department Olivia Warren, AUC MS4 13
