Sunset Wednesday. Big deal??

So what's the big deal about a sunset picture? It's not like a Corona commercial on a beach or anything exotic... What it does signify is that clinic ended before sunset yesterday! We actually went to dinner last night(!) which was a big deal and a big improvement over the previous two night. Drs. Moore and Chacko, and Heather, one of our nurses were in surgery but still joined us at the restaurant later.

The group attacked the day a little differently on Wednesday. Susan and David Mathews spent more of the day in clinic, essentially getting a head start, while the others operated and completed more cases than the day before. Dave is a general surgeon who speaks Swahili, so in clinic, he and Susan made a great team and made quick progress.

Susan and David also took breaks to visit radiologists and a pathologist to review some findings of some of their Monday and Tuesday clinic patients. Susan also gave a lecture at 3:00pm on Sinus surgery. I think it was a "grand rounds" lecture meaning that it was for everyone and not just a student group. Her talk was well received and she received a "three clap salute" that she can tell you about.
