Sanbona means "Check out my blog!" in Zulu. Actually, that is a lie. It just means hello everyone. This is the account of my year in South Africa. It begins in Washington DC in July. I am now all the way across the Atlantic living and working in Durban. I know, you wish you were me. Or maybe you don’t and are happy to be 5,000 miles away from the nearest TB patient. Either way, take a look, read over my rambling posts, and please leave hypercritical comments about my spelling and grammar.
As I was leaving work today, I took a picutre of this plaque on the 1st floor of the building that houses CAPRISA. It was apparently opened by the "Honourable" Jacob Zuma. Ironic that I wrote about and pondered his dishonorable deeds while in the building he opened. I wonder if they will leave this plaque up if he is found to be guilty...

Yes, I am Cully Wiseman. I have the curse of a unisex first name that I must spell outloud to people on a daily basis, and the blessing of a cool doctor-sounding last name. Someday, it will be great to hear a nurse say to me, "Dr. Wiseman, you left your stethoscope in the bathroom again." I am currently living in the magical moment that occurs between one's 3rd and 4th year of medical school. Except for me that moment takes an entire year and occurs in South Africa. I am here with my lovely girlfriend (who is a nurse, but just calls me Cully when I leave me stehescope in the bathroom) and very much enjoying all aspects of my life here: work, culture, food, red wine, people around me, surfing, and my piece of crap little car. I have a great life right now, and hope I can keep that going for a while.
