Monday April 7, 2014
We had a full first day today. After breakfast, we all headed to Cure
Hospital. Three members of the ENT team
saw about 40 patients in the clinic. The
audiologist saw about 15 patients, did audiograms and fit hearing aids. Dr. Winnie did two ear surgeries today for
children who to the School for the Deaf that we support. We were going to do a third, but it took a
while to get the equipment and supplies organized.
Our anesthesia team took care of all of the OR cases: the two ears and 8 orthopaedic cases. We had an Ethiopian Black Lion anesthesia
resident and three Master’s anesthetist students in addition to Cure’s
anesthetist and Dr. Mary. We had a lot
of good educational opportunities and had some complex cases.
Tonight our Healing the Children anesthesia team is having
dinner with Dr. Mary and the Black Lion anesthesia residents. Tomorrow – cases and clinic.
It is beautiful here this afternoon – blue sky, cool
breeze. There were thunderstorms
yesterday afternoon and evening, but I think they are done for the week. This is the small rainy period before the
full rainy season this summer.
