The last few days have been great in Buenos Aires. Our local hosts have been outstanding. They treated us to Steaks and excellent tours of the 3 Pediatric Hospitals of Buenos Aires. Of interest, the Hospital de Ninos Dr Richard Gutierrez offers what is believed to be the only Pediatric Orthopedic Residency in the world. Here is the team in action on rounds through the hospital.
We have not only been able to learn about Argentinian healthcare, but we have been introduced to a very interesting cosmopolitan city. European and advanced on one hand, and yet impoverished with a 50% below poverty line on the other.
As part of our visit we were able to attend a Polo match at the Gold Cup which is the start of the season here in Argentina. We meet the owners of the polo grounds and discovered that 2 of her sons are ranked 10 as well as one of her son-in-laws. This ranking is the highest in the polo world, and there are only 8 riders in the world with this designation.
In the end, the biggest lesson learned today, was that there are always worse jobs that one can have in the world.
