Wednesday October 27th
The nursing school was opened today by a number of dignitaries. I’m afraid I missed it all but there was a cameraman wandering round the wards so who knows I may make it onto Ugandan Television tonight! Ive spent some of the day preparing something to discuss at next Mondays education meeting which I hope will be helpful Ive chosen the topics of “When to do a lumbar puncture” and managing heptosplenomegaly”(patients with large livers and spleens). I am beginning to come to the conclusion that to try to stimulate debate and discussion about how things are currently being managed may be my most helpful input. While some of the skills and practice are amazing given the scarce resources that are present the widespread use of up to 4 antibiotics at a time is one amongst a number of issues that could be improved.
