Have I said recently that I am humbled and honored to be here!\u00a0 It has been an amazing day.\u00a0 To begin with, I walked in at 7:30 to find two gun shot wound victims.\u00a0 One was in severe pain and needed an NG tube and a foley for starters.\u00a0 Check!\u00a0 I was able to decompress his stomach and help him empty his bladder. But his problems were evident on the xray results which showed just one bullet (shot really), but it was in the abdomen on the opposite side of entry.\u00a0 Not good. This man had most certain bowel perforation.\u00a0 We took him to the theatre for exploratory abdominal surgery.\u00a0 He had 8 perforations.\u00a0 All 8 were repaired by Dr. Benjamin and our patient was moved to the male ward (remember, no ICU here).<\/p>\n
I have reached a new level and have become part Ghanaian!\u00a0 Today I was asked to do many more things by the regular staff.\u00a0 Prior to this I was treated very respectfully but I had to be very proactive with my rotation.\u00a0 I still need to be, but it is great to be bossed around!<\/p>\n
