I think I am finally getting over jet lag. Although, I still get tired in the afternoon and want to take a nap. I have been blessed with having sometime this week to get caught up on all the paper work and messages that have occurred since I was gone. I will start seeing patients tomorrow. These past couple of days have given me a chance to spend a little extra time with my girls (Kim, Ella, and Lucy) and spend a some time in reflection about the last 5 weeks. People have asked me, "Was it worth it?" "Any interesting medical cases?" "Are you happy to be back?" "What is the thing you missed most about America?" "What was the food like?"
It is hard to know where to start. How do you sum up 5 weeks in just a couple of sentences. Yes I am glad to be back, but yet I miss the relationships started. I see these next few years as a critical time for Hope Medical and Macau with opportunities. Because of the continued boom in the casino industry, Macau is in the Christian sense, "Ripe for the harvest." Parts of me want to stay and be apart of it. Yet other parts of me realize that Hope Medical has two more doctors joining their team later this year and currently my skills do not fill any particular needs gap in the team. I can't say God is not calling my family to Macau, but I can say not now. I will keep tabs on the happenings there and see what happens after my time at Johns Hopkins.
In the mean time, I must gear myself up for the remaining 4 blocks of rotations that finish up my Family Medicine Residency and get prepared for my time in Baltimore.

Glad you are back safe. It took me almost 10 days to get back to the local time. It was tough trying to find things to do at 4AM.
I am also back to my routine, it is amazing how much we have to do to catch up once we are back. Hardly time to digest the time in Macau. I miss working with you and the crew at Hope Medical Group. God bless you on you fellowship work and the rest of you training. Check out the inmed.us web site about their Medical Mission Conf in May. I will be going to learn more. Maybe I will see you there if you go. Reach me at peter.kwan@memorialhermann.org
