Update #5

Hi!
I hope you all are well.  Everything here is going just fine.  We have worked in a rural hospital here for most of the week.  Things are sooooo different.  We went to surgery on Monday.  They don’t paralyze the patients during surgery so their feet and legs continue to move during the operation even though they are unconscious.  It’s totally freaky.  I was first assist though for two surgeries.  It was pretty amazing to be that involved.  The doctors here do everything.  They’re like supermen.  They treat pediatric patients, adult patients, and do surgery.  There are no specialists here it seems and the doctors work really hard.
I’m still learning a ton and only wish I could help more.
We leave for Livingstone early tomorrow morning.  So the next time I write I’ll have safari stories!
Shalenipo! (Goodbye in Lamba.)
