A few odds and ends

Life is treating us well in Juba. We're working hard of course, but it's great fun. One of the medical elective students had a birthday the other day, and we all went out in the evening for food and beers with a bunch of other ex-pats from various NGOs. I actually had a very decent burger! There are some (admittedly expensive) but pretty nice places to eat out here. Obviously Dave and I have to do a little more exploring to find them all...

Below are a couple of interesting bugs we've found, both rather large.




Today Dave and I are making our formal teaching debut at JTH running a few sessions for the house officers on the recognition and early management of unstable patients, just the basic ABCDE stuff really. The Brothers here actually have a video projector which they're kindly lending us, for the day. (JTH doesn't have one, but it would be really educationally useful if anyone has a spare...!)

Naturally last night we had to test the compatibility... :o)


I've finished collecting and analysing data from the first round of an audit we did last week, and there are some really interesting results. I have to write it all up, but more on that later.

Bye for now

Excellent work, I believe demonstrating to the student doctors the benefits of creating an elven wood will be very useful (should the hospital be stormed by a gang of orcs) - from Corrie
