Monday I was back in Hannover and back to the program. On Monday we went to the medical school in Hannover and learned about dialysis from one of the doctors there. The next day we traveled to Bad Oeynhausen and went to a teaching hospital there. There I was lucky enough to be able to go into an actual operating room and watch an open heart surgery. The patient was having his second bypass done. The skill and speed at which the procedure was done was amazing and by the mood in the room you would have never guess they were operating on a heart. However I guess when you do that sort of thing everyday it just becomes routine. After watching the surgery we learned about artificial heart assisting devices visited some the patients who have had them implanted. Today was on off the more fascinating days of the program.
The next morning we left very early to our last stop in Vienna. During the day we visited the St. Stephens Cathedral and the catacombs. The catacombs had an eerie feel to them. Today we visited several museums in Vienna at the medical school. Afterwords we wen and visisted the famous Spanish riding school and went to the famous Cafe Demel. There I had one of the best pieces of cake and cup of hot chocolate that I have ever had.
