Friday July 1st
Trying to set up a chest drain for a patient today was an interesting challenge. The ward felt the equipment was in theatres and the theatre staff thought it was in the ward. Feeling I was not getting anywhere fast I compromised on doing a chest aspiration to draw fluid off the man’s chest. Back to theatre to ask for the 3 way tap I needed to be told it was locked in a cupboard and yet again “The man with the key has gone”!! Indeed he had because when I phoned I discovered he was in Kasese about 40 Kms away with the key!! Such is life in this part of the world….
Ann had a visit to the market and purchased an interesting specimen which we have christened a Tortoise Fruit. She did ask someone when she was buying it what it was but the person didn’t know the name only that it is sweet.
Managed to plough through my NHS emails this afternoon as the internet has recovered for the time being. No thunderstorms or powercuts so long may that continue!!
This 10 year old arrived in out patients today Any offers from the medics?
Guess the name of the fruit. A Tortoise fruit??
Nephrotic Syndrome (history of previous malaria as the cause?)
