Day 20 Take 2
February 4th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized
Hello,
I am writing a message from the internet cafe at the mall in Accra. Today was a very good day. Ashley and I saw patients all morning. We even had one admission to the hosptial. Most of the things were not complicated and it was very easy to manage. It feels very strange to write a prescription and be the only signature or refer someone to a specialist or for a lab. I joked with Ashley saying “just call me doc”. It was a small taste of what is to come in the future. It was very handy for us to have the guideline book that they use in Ghana so that we manage things in the recommended way for the area. Clinic flew by. We were finished around 3:00 pm after checking on the patients in the wards. We walked down to drop our fabric off for the dresses we are having made and then jumped in a taxi for the mall. It was a good chance to show Andrew and Izzy where the grocery store is and to have dinner. Tomorrow will be more of the same from today. Dr. Akosua has the day off but we will have the other doctors if we have any questions. We are going to Cape Coast on Saturday (Ashley and I) and to Kakum National Park. The time is really flying by and before we know it it will be time to pack up and head home. I will keep the updates coming. Have a great day.
Thanks,
Kim
