had an emergency laparotomy surgery, and I somehow ended up acting as an anesthesiologist.\u00a0 Where there are not many professionals available, you do not say \u201ccannot do it.\u201d\u00a0 You say \u201cmaybe I can try.\u201d\u00a0 My knowledge on anesthesia is limited, and on top of that, resources are limited too!\u00a0 The most surgeries are done without intubation (anesthesia machine is currently broken), so we give epidural block.\u00a0 Then, use some diazepam or ketamine to sleep.\u00a0 So, monitoring vitals is your main role.\u00a0 When monitor beeps, you worry, but you just hope that the surgery finishes on time.\u00a0 Otherwise, the surgeon tells you what medication to give to the patient.\u00a0 Definitely, OJT (On the Job Training)!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the other day, I had an opportunity to assist for tubal ligation with a\u00a0Zambian doctor.\u00a0 The technique was very similar to ones in the US. \u00a0Family planning is well known here, but not much vasectomy \u2013 it\u2019s a cultural thing\u2026\u00a0 Unfortunately, female tends to suffer more than male.\u00a0 I am at least happy that local people are talking about family planning \u2013 a very important public health issue!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here at Macha, your role is endless.\u00a0 One day, we had an emergency
