This is the first room that I was assigned. An 8 x 18 foot cargo trailer stacked on top of each other and held together by who knows what. I shared this with two British Residents - Matt (Internal Medicine) and Adam (Emergency Medicine). They were great, but we all had different schedules so sleep was often hard to get. I can't complain, though, as all the rest of our group are in tents - more room, but even less privacy.
'Little America' - Go Phillies!
This is my new room, which I share with a US Anesthesiologist - Matt from Balboa Naval Hospital. We get along well, and have similar hours. He is doing a Pain fellowship next year at UC Davis.
That is Matt and this illustrates the width of our room. Not much space, but we get by.
This is the outside of our barracks. 100 people live in this building and there are ten of these. Each floor has two male bathrooms and one female - it is a coed Barracks, but only about 10% women. These were put in place about a year ago and I can only imagine what the government paid for these. I would guess based on the wear and tear already noticeable inside that they might last five years. The only good point is the 'yard sale' that occurs every time somebody leaves. Essentially anything they don't want they put in the hallway - thinking about hoarding all of it and starting an online store on ebay.
All for now.
