transfer - Blogabond

just for quick update. today we saw three patients. nothing very exciting really... i'm a bit discouraged at the influx of patients really. today was actually a busy day except that two of these patients had previously been seen and the responsibilities of the nurses (three of us) is very limited anyways...despite the shortage of patients. and the other discouraging thing was that today we had a patient that had been mugged down the street. her hand was bleeding. we had a couple cotton swabs and water only because the doctor had left and always locks the medical supplies away...even first aid supplies... so this is something i'm going to address tomorrow...hopefully it will go well...

besides that... africa is good. i'm learning a lot. i may be transfering to a very small clinic that hasn't seen a nurse before....so...more news on that soon hopefully!
