A huge number of people flock to the hospital for orthopedic consultation and hope of surgery by Professor Jellis, who visits at least twice each year.
It was lovely to see some patients return for review. Bartholemew came back for his prosthesis fitting, but unfortunately is now sick with TB.
This boy had a deep wound to his shin, exposing half his tibia. In an effort to save the leg, the dead bone will be removed and given time to heal before further surgery.
Another case of epilepsy and consequent falling in a fire.
My latest group of student nurses to be placed on my ward numbered 14... Needless to say, it's been a little congested at times!
A whirlwind trip to Solwezi to get my license, for which I had to reverse through some cones and do a hill start. Every trip to the nearest town with a supermarket (5 and a half hours each way) warrants some shopping, so we were fully laden for the journey back... but there's always room for one more!
Two of my drug resistant TB patients, one with his wife and child, who came to visit me at home after church last Sunday.
