Our entire team has now arrived in Ethiopia. There are ten of us in total: 3 ENT surgeons, a Pediatrician, an OR nurse, a fourth year medical student, an Audiologist, a Nurse Anesthetist, our Executive Director, and me. Saturday evening we had dinner with Dr. Rick Hodes, a US physician who runs a clinic at Mother Teresa’s Mission for patients with TB, scoliosis and cardiac issues and Dr. Nega, a local ENT surgeon.
Sunday we saw about 20 patients in the Black Lion Hospital ENT clinic to select patients for surgery during the week. Tomorrow some will be at Cure Hospital seeing patients, some at Black Lion getting ready for OR cases later in the week. We have a reception scheduled for tonight to meet with some local sponsors.
Here are some of the patients we saw:
Some things at Black Lion look exactly the same, but some are definitely improved. The neonatal ICU and nursery have been updated courtesy of the Turkish government, and there is now a Pediatric ICU. Most of the other inpatient wards and outpatient areas look the same. We saw a few patients in follow up from our last visit.
