                    <description>Today was a great day in Africa      Work was busy but so rewarding honestly.  We both had good days and so did our patients  Raissa got another IV placed I got to teach some docs how to do Saphenous sticks for the babies and thankfully while I was teaching i was successful on the 1st attempts.  I also let one of the interns teach me the incredibly scary but easy jugular stick.  Basically</description>

                    <description>I don39t really know what that means...but it is an awesome billboard on the way out of town towards where church is and it took me almost two weeks to finally get a picture of it  I guess I could have tried to google it but now you can see the real thing.  So Its been a few days.  What have you missed...Monday was another start to a busy week.  Lots of new patients came in over the weekend</description>

                    <description>Can39t believe the weekend is over already  Saturday was a lot of fun despite the lack of sleep thank you killer african spiders.  We slept in a bit and then went to the Namibian Craft Center in downtown Windhoek.  It is an amazing place  We both found lots of gifts for people back in the States and Phillippines.  we also may or may not have gotten something small for ourselves as well.</description>

                    <title>African Wildlife  The violin and rikki tikki tavi. </title>
                    <description>We have finally encountered some african wildlife.  Well sort of  Friday night sleeping comfortably woke up for some reason so decided to get a drink downstairs.  It was about 1am.  Turned the bed side light on.  something makes me glance at the window curtains.  AHHHHH.  I was frozen.  It was a giant spider of certainly killer status atleast 2 feet long...ok maybe 2 inches.  I stood in on</description>

                    <title>T.I.A. </title>
                    <description>This Is Africa.  We learned that today.   A full week of work at KSH is completed...it was a great week but just a strange feeling at the end of today.  Several of my patients may not be alive when I get back on Monday and its just the way it is here.  I don39t know how I feel about that.   The baby I posted about a few days ago with the lymphoedema and hemangiomas is worse.  He is adorable </description>

                    <description>Another day comes to an end in Namibia.  The time seems to be flying by I can39t believe our 1st week as doctors in Africa is almost over  Clinic was steady this afternoon and the 1st two patients I saw I had to admit.  One was actually a nice admission because it was a straightforward every day asthma exacerbation from viral illness and he is going to be fine  The 2nd one was interesting a</description>

                    <title>Hospitals and Zebras and Robots...oh my</title>
                    <description>Wednesday...Bedtime...Blog.  It is very strange to get ready for bed and then notice it is afternoon back home.  We both adjusted really well to the time difference.  Thank you crazy residency lifestyle and OnCall lack of sleep schedules.  Being awake for 30 hours straight several times a week really has its benefits.  Especially if you need to adjust to jet lag and work the next day.  Seriously </description>
