We met Maria Isokoski at 8.30 in the hall of the hospital. We were guided around with her to see the different units. First we went to the laboratory where we saw nurses taking blood tests and what they were doing with them after that. Almost everything was runned automatically. There were a lot of machines and staff. After that we visited the x-ray rooms where doctors told us how to use the machines. Then we went to the most interesting place, daysurgery. We had to put on protecting clothes, even a nicelooking cap. Then we got information in french about anaesthesia from a Bulgarian. We could also watch when they prepared for a shoulder operation.At the physiotherapy´s department we met a physiotherapist who spoke very well english. He told us about his studies and his service.Then we walked around the hospital and Maria showed us the emergency. We saw an ambulance and an emergence patient.And finally we came back in the hall where Maria gave us some magazins about the hospital and a scarf.At every different unit they had their own guides who told us what they knew about the place they were working at and also about their education.

We think it was interesting and they were nice with us and explained things in a good way. They also took their time to spend it with us.
