In the morning we were very heartily welcomed by the Roche staff. Afterwards we headed altogether to the old Operating theatre, which is just a stone's throw away of the borough market. There we learned about the operating methods during the 19th century. Since there was no anaesthesia during that time, the operations had to be very quick. On average 5 to 10 min. Additionally only one out of three patients survived surgery, which was considered good at that time. The most common operation was the removal of bladder stones. But the highlight was when the amputation procedure was demonstrated on Seraina. Afterwards we could take a look at the museum where we discovered more old operating tools and cures.

 

Then we headed to the platform gaming centre. Here we ate delicious pizza and played a wide range of games. We mostly enjoyed playing Mario Kart in small groups. In addition, we also got some insights into developing a start-up directly from the founders of the place.

Then in the afternoon we had some free time to spend in the city. Our group visited the garden at 120, which is a public garden on the roof of a building. From there the view was stunning and we could see most of London's landmarks.

In the evening we had a delicious dinner in Chinatown. The dinner had something for everyone and was very rich.
