There are a lot of things that make this trip hard and heartbreaking but at the same time there is so much that I am able to see that make this trip so awesome. Meeting the Patricia's make it hard but on Thursday I had a patient that was 2 1/2 and I was the only one in the office. I was able to assess the patient, send him to the lab for testing. The diagnosis was malaria, and I prescribed meds for the patient. Of course I had to have a translator and made a call about the meds but it felt so good especially only having been here a few weeks. Yesterday was not a fun day for me. I got food poisoning and was either in bed or the bathroom all day but am feeling much much better today. I am taking cipro just incase it wasn't food poisoning. Hope you all have a good day and I will be posting two updates about Patricia here shortly...
