In honor of my first day in my Sri Lankan nursing uniform I thought I would share some things I’ve noticed about healthcare differences here an in Sri Lanka (outside of having to wear a hat and heels in the hospital)! To start with, nurses here do not own or use stethoscopes, which we are required to know in the US. When taking blood pressure, they do it manually, using a pop up barometer to gage the pressures.
