Clinic continues to busy and interesting. One lesson learned is that too many patients have been scheduled for this "camp". (You sure learn a lot the first time you try to do something this ambitious!) The surgery schedule is essentially full through Tuesday, our last work day in Eldoret. Some of the first patients that were scheduled included large goiters that are causing discomfort in the neck. While these patients need surgery, their condition isn't life-threatening. So as more desparate cases show up, we are cancelling the goiters and replacing them with the other cases. Because there will continue to be clinics every day through Monday, many patients won't be offered surgery, but they will still be seen, evaluated, and advised by the ENT's.
