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.
My PPD test is NEGATIVE. Zero millimeters of induration. I dont know how in the world I managed to avoid tuberculosis while I was here. I've been around dozens of patients with active, hacking, TB cough. Heck, I did most of my research at a TB clinic! Regardless, I am negative. That's my story for now and I am sticking to it!

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.

Hello dear ones,
I just quickly scrolled down your latest postings, and i'm a bit in a rush, so keep it short.. First of all, i think it's good news (for you Cully) you're tested negatively, so congratulations (-: And Kylie,I think you should confront your friend with it, if you still consider her a friend.. maybe she has an explanation for it all (even for her lies).. when you see eachother again, you can at least look eachother in the eyes.. i think both of you will feel relieved after this akward situation is discussed and over... Good luck with it anyway (whether you're doing something with it or not)I think you're a cool girl and your friend just doesn't know what she's missing!
Love,
