Honestly, I doubt this is a reflection on our Center as much as it is a mirror of the nation as a whole. Because of educational, financial, and cultural barriers parents tend to bring their kids for care only as a last resort. Hence, many whom I examine in the ER have temperatures of 104, are lethargic, and in respiratory distress. Their diseases are not exotic; mostly dysentery, dehydration, pneumonia and malaria &#8211; often compounded by malnutrition. Three days ago I admitted 4 children to our little pediatrics ward: Sara &#8211; a 12-month old with pneumonia and malaria, Paulo &#8211; a 7-year old with amebas and diarrhea, Avelina &#8211; a 9 years young with malaria, and Edite &#8211; a 15-month old with pneumonia, malaria, and tuberculosis. Of all the patients here at the Center, these receive my closest attention.
