Go West!

"Skinny Monkey" is the nickname of a 21 year old medical student from Malaysia who is in her 4th year MBBS at UWA in Perth, Australia.

When Skinny Monkey was assigned Fremantle Hospital for her nursing attachment a TB test was required.
We were told to hav our mantoux test done.

When we reached there, the nurses there told us "it's a quantiferon TB test, u shud hav done it back in pathwest and not here!" So we had to walk all the way back to pathwest. We waited for 30mins in pathwest reception counter before we could get our venepuncture done.
The medical students of today are the health care workers of tomorrow.
