March 17 and 18, 2012
My sixth trip to Ethiopia! Our travel was uneventful. There are 11 in our group from Philadelphia, Syracuse, Austin, Phoenix, Connecticut, Delaware and Pittsburgh. We have four ENT surgeons, three audiologists, two anesthesiologists, and two others, one is Healing the Children’s Vice President. Most of us met up in Frankfurt where we had a long layover. One person’s luggage didn’t make it out of Newark, but otherwise everything arrived and we had an easy trip through customs.
Today we had a leisurely breakfast and then did several hours of lectures and hands on training in audiology for the Black Lion ENT residents. Some of us went to Cure hospital (where we will be working tomorrow) to drop off equipment and see charts. A few of us did some shopping and then we went to a coffee shop and a Korean restaurant for dinner.
We are trying to get a good night’s sleep and rest up for our day tomorrow. We have several OR cases and a large clinic schedule.
