December 2, 2019
Our main activity today was running a large ENT clinic at
Cure. Our 6 ENT surgeons, our plastic
surgeon and our 4 audiologists were quite busy screening and evaluating patients,
both new and follow up. Overall they saw
about 80 patients in clinic, did 15 audiology exams and hearing tests and fit
10 hearing aids.
Two anesthesiologists went to a nearby government hospital
to work with one of our Ethiopian anesthesiologist colleagues. I worked in the OR with the Cure plastic
surgeon.
It is great to see friends that we have worked with for
years and enjoy the long-standing relationships we have built over imte.
It is sunny and 70 degrees here, and because of the climate
there are many beautiful flowers scattered around the hospital and other places
in town.
The rest of the week will include OR and clinic at Cure, OR
at a local government hospital, evaluations at the School for the Deaf and
education and teaching sessions for Ethiopian ENT and Anesthesiology providers. I will also be taking a brief side trip to
Kenya to visit some educational and training programs there.
