This day started early, already at 8 o´clock were Tom and I attending the morning meeting at the hospital.
I was introduced to those who were at the meeting, I told them about the autoclave and that it was to be installed this week for, everyones use.
Then I mentioned that I would like to do a survey at the open patient ward, but did not go into any deeper story about what I was going to do.
I brought with me a box of the super breathe protections for mouth an nose that we had brought with us, in the first place to be used at the big operation theatre.
Everyone was deeply impressed by their quality.
We also brought an instrument for gynaecological sample taking, something one of the doctors had high on his wishlist, the same doctor also got the latest version of tropical medicin.
The reports from the night were read for everyone and without almost any discussion.
Afterwards I talked to doctor Okuku about my thoughts around the survey.
My main task is to collect information about how many infected patients come in per week, where they are infected, and how they are treated, especially concerning antibiotics.
My intention is to do this during three weeks and hopefully the results could be of interest for the treating doctors.
The fact that someone is interested in the treatment, might start a discussion about the use of antibiotics, especially the broadspectrum antibiotics, which are used for small or big infections, no matter what, and where that might lead in the end.
Okuku said that from the hospitals view it was Ok and I asked him to talk to the personel at this ward about it.
From there I went to see Mike Masona at the lab and we are going to install the autoclave tomorrow and test run it.
The most thrilling was that he had done a lot of things about getting the equipment for starting bacterilocical culturing at the hospital, I must say that I was thorougly impressed, he had bought exactly the same equipment as is used in Linköping at bactlab there.
I said where did You get the money and he answered that there was a government program for this and no problem, furthermore they were even promised money for restoring a new room where this job was to be done. I was so happy, I think that I had contributed to all this just by starting him thinking and then acting.
I have now done the formula for the survey and given it to doctor Okuku so that he can comment on it.
Very satisfied with this day I must say.
But we have an invasion of cochroches in the house and I almost vomited last night, Angela was asked to take care of it today, we did the first rush last night.
The dogs are still barking at night, but apart from that it is quiet , there was a funeral in church today, quite interesting to watch from a distance, with women screaming, crying, very strange for us.
Till barnbarnen:
Idag har både farfar och jag gjort lite nytta på sjukhuset, jag har givit tiken med valpar potatismos, som var över från vår lunch, vilket hon tyckte var väldigt gott och jag har sett till att hon har vatten, stackars hund , ni har aldrig sett något så magert. Valparna har hon gömda i häcken, där är de väldigt väl skyddade, jag har inte ens sett dom, bara hört dom pipa. Kram från Farmor
