First day of vocational visit

We have our first club presentation at Kennebunk Portside Club in the morning. We were so glad that all members were very interested in Hong Kong and Mongolia. We hope they have learnt more about our district after our presentation.

We then had a visit to Southern Maine Medical Centre (SMMC). We were taken to various departments there and had a better understanding of a typical American hospital setting.

After lunch at SMMC, we had different vocational visits according to our own interest.

Jennifer visited the ophthalmologist Dr. Edward Jaccoma in Sanford. She was so surprised and glad that she was allowed to examine all patients at the clinic. She has never seen so many blue irises and hypo-pigmented retina before! There is quite a different spectrum of eye diseases as well, as compared to our Chinese population. She managed to see some cases that she has read in textbooks only before!

At night, we had a casual barbecue dinner with Saco-Bay Rotary Club. We were so glad that we could share our experience on our vocational visits with the club.
