Thursday October 28^th

3 of the 4 Ugandan medical officers have gone off to an HIV course in Kampala which has left the hospital a little thin on the ground I spent the first half of the day doing rounds on the medical wards but ventured onto the paediatric wards for the first time today. Some amazing situations there including a 1 year old who presented with an Hb of 1.6 about 15% of what it should have been. Some very tiny babies to see to as well. I have to say there is something very special about looking after small children. I had a chat with Dave Lyth, who is the retired urologist who is working here, this afternoon about various aspects of the hospital which was very helpful. Tomorrow evening there is to be Scottish county dancing in the chapel!  It will be interesting to see how the locals cope with the Gay Gordons!

Smile Please!
