Started working in the health center and received a warm welcome from the staff here. They have a schedule of seeing pediatric patients on Monday and Friday mornings, adults on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, well baby on Wednesday, and emergencies during the afternoon. Fairly typical to see 50+ patients in the 4 hour morning session with one doctor and a handful of staff. I've been pretty much observing the first couple days but have drained some pretty smelly pus from a couple abscesses.

Richard, really like and appreciate your insights. You have more GI courage than I although I recently sampled communal beer in Soweto and no revenge yet. When you return, will tell you of Malawi.

Hi Ken,
DeleteThanks for the comments. I too have hoped to avoid permanent blindness from the village brew. I look forward to hearing of your African adventures.
