Getting Oriented

I flew from Niamey to Galmi today via SIM air. It was a straight forward flight and we arrived at about 1030 in the morning. Evelyn is the manager and she had everything ready when I arrived. I met David, the fellow I am replacing and he gave me a tour around the Hospital. It all looks pretty familiar but it sounds like they are pretty busy with patients right now. There is also another OBGYN Esther that has been here longer and is going to orient me around 3 pm. The next 3 nights I am being hosted by other missionaries in their home for dinner. That will make it easier for me to get aclimatized.
If you look to the left of the road just above and to the left of the centre of the picture you will see the gravel landing strip.
It looks like I am on call on Thursday so tomorrow will just be a regular clinic day. Esther did walk me around the whole hospital complex. It looks mostly the same, but there are a few changes. It seems like there are more personelle at the momment which is nice. Most of the Midwives (Sage Femmes) are new but there is a Midwife from France that is hear as well. We will see if I have time to post tomorrow. It looks like it will be a busy day.

Catching up and keeping up

My apologies for the long gap in posts.  It has been busy here with Stuart away and the increased call.  Also the internet access is very sporadic.  Since I last posted I have seen another set of twins, multiple cases of malaria a day, several choriocarcinomas (cancers) with severe findings and some severe tuberculosis.  It can all be a bit overwhelming, but God has been guiding me through it all.  The other aspect of the challenge is of course the limited supplies.  We have to check what medications and supplies are available and tailor our treatment to the resources.  For those issues I lean heavily on the long term staff here and the midwives.  Saadi who was in a picture earlier in the blog has been here a long time and is great at guiding me through some of these issues.  And of course Esther is a great resource when I am not sure how to proceed with a case.   I asked Saadi today how many deliveries she thinks they do in a month...

The differences

Image
 There are so many differences here. 15 year olds having babies is a semi regular occurrence. 20 year olds worried about infertility is as well. Long delays in seeking medical attention resulting in much more severe disease. These are just a few of the issues. Today I did a Cesarean on someone purely because they had 2 previous stillborn children. At delivery the baby was limp and barely had a pulse. I thought it was going to die in front of my eyes. And there was no reason why that I could find. Initially in the nursery the baby was still quite weak, but over time she improved. I am not sure I will ever know what was going on with this baby or the previous ones. I am just glad the mother convinced us to just go straight to the cesarean. My time here is winding down and then the trip home. I am not sure if I will be able to post again. If not, hope you enjoyed this little window in to life in a hospital on the southern edge of the Sahara.

old friends

I have been looking for Saadi the midwife I worked with last time and I just saw her today. She used to run the Maternity floor but now she works in the outpatient department and does shifts in Maternity on the weekends. I also saw the German nurse I met last time who works making sure all the instruments are properly sterilized. It feels good to see friends from years gone by. Speaking of surgical instruments I did my first cesarean on this trip today. It was very straightforward, and the OR assistant I had was Rebekah (I think that's how she spells it). She was great. She obviously knew the procedure very well and the surgery went very smoothly. Everyone is sad though because she is going off to get married and it will be hard to replace her.  After work Esther took me to a shop to buy fabric. I want to replace the shoulder bag I had made 5 years ago, and some other things. I got a nice bright pattern. Stay tuned for more.
