The article „Life in the Day: Lorrie Bowen” talks about Lorrie Bowen who is a 29-year-old surgical doctor who has worked in the Arctic for 18 months. Her responsibilities are medical care and waste management.
As a medical practitioner, she deals with basic illnesses like coughs and scratches. Also, she decides if people can stay or have to leave the Arctic in case of medical issues. If she has the possibility to work outside, she takes it, because inside it's hot and full of static. When she is outside, she paints signs, marks safe areas, helps to build weather stations, or joins the scientists. I also like this type of varied work, and I would do the same. For me, the best place to work is outside, and I love staying in contact with nature.
For Lorrie, living in the Arctic is a good experience and an adventure. She stays in touch with magical natural happenings, but she has to live in the conditions of the arctic environment. In summer, there are 24 hours of light, and she has to share her room with up to 100 persons. In wintertime, she has to eat tinned or dried food; fresh food is available only in summer. All these facts show that the Arctic is a place where you can discover beautiful things, but it is still a dangerous place to be. I could imagine such an experience. In a nutshell, if I got this kind of opportunity, I would take it and go for an arctic trip, with all of its pros and cons.
