Just some details on life here. I'm on my fourth and final ward starting this week, male ward. The usual person who covers male ward is off studying right now for an exam, so it is covered by a resident from UPMPC St. Margaret's who is here starting this week. I will have a day off tomorrow or Wednesday, though, to go to Choma to get my visa renewed for the last week-plus that I'm here.
In the mean-time, life at the hospital and with friends continues. Abby, the American nurse here who went to Jefferson, had a group of us girls over for pancakes/crepes on Sunday, which was fun. Linda and I have been watching a number of movies and reading books in the evenings when we're not on call. I was happy to get to talk to my family a few times over the past couple weeks (amazing how easy it is to take that possibility for granted in the States!). That's about it.

- I'm a family medicine doctor who journeyed to India and Africa for three months as a fourth-year medical student and so started this blog to keep in touch with family and friends. These are the stories of my adventures and lessons there, in residency after my return, and now in practice.
