Monday 27th June
At school Ann lost her red pen. Absolutely essential for marking as no other colour will do! After looking for it for some minutes one of the children offered to lend her her pen which Ann found very touching. The children thoroughly enjoyed acting out the story of the Israelites leaving Egypt particularly the ten plagues of Egypt.
One of the issues regarding the Typhoid epidemic here is whether the ciprofloxacin we have is of adequate quality. So one of today’s missions was to the pharmacy to get samples of the ciprofloxacin (the main antibiotic being used to treat typhoid) being dispensed. One of the brands is rather discouragingly named Ificipro which doesn’t fill you with confidence!! Reminds one a little of The Constant Gardener for those who have seen the film.
On the ward round this morning I had no less than 6 medical students in tow which I think I would find very frustrating but Im doing my best to stimulate their interest and get them motivated to do some learning Today I also did a session for them on typhoid and dysentery.
