Here is a snapshot from our third clinic. On the left in this picture is Pui, one of our translators who used to work with my in-laws when they lived in Bangkok. In the middle is my patient. She has a history of kidney stones and her Thai doctor told her to drink lots of water but she told me that she doesn't like to drink lots of water. I told her that she needed to follow her Thai doctor's advice and that I had the same advice for her. She laughed and giggled. What do doctors and nurses know anyway? We saw 76 patients at our clinic on this day.
Just checked into your blog for the first time! Amazing work! Can't believe you are doing surgery...who needs a masters?!
