\"Nigombe<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today at\u00a0Lubango Evangelical Medical Center<\/a>\u00a0immediately I was summoned to the ER, where I met little Nibombe. Coughing and less than alert, it was clear that Nibombe was suffering from pneumonia that encased his entire left lung. On closer inspection, I was also alarmed to find that his condition was complicated by heart failure. I treated him with ampicillin IV, which is about the only highly active antibiotic we have at the med center, as well as furosemide for his cardiac insufficiency.\u00a0Nibombe initially improved and I was feeling such relief.\u00a0What a sad encounter the following morning to discover that Nigombe died suddenly during the night. Working out here, we face so very many unknowns. Unknown languages. Unknown behaviors. Unknown diseases. I keep thinking of what else from which this kid may have been suffering that I totally missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
