Although I am only a short time here, I think I have very quickly adapted to life. So that it is already difficult for me to explain what everything is different. Today
seemed to me a little less warm than the last days - which means but still, that one with sweat after just a few steps all over my body. could be some minutes after a cold shower to start up a new contract - Man stuck ever before. You make this all automatically slow: a handle - a break - some Steps - further pause. At the clinic, on which we work from about 10 clock in the morning after the visit in the hospital wing, is an air-conditioning. Thus the whole working day, the bottom line appears somewhat cooler than the free days. But it is a torture to go in the midday heat only from our shelter again for the afternoon work.
This morning I tried to repel a chick that has strayed into one of the semi-open concrete drainage channels, to his mother. Because there is only helpless peeping constantly running in the wrong direction, I've finally caught and put back next to the mother hen. All the animals: chickens, roosters, cats - and of course all the many children running around freely on the site anyway.
will eat together in each Réfectoire - we have 3 students, some of the European doctors and a few other hospital employees. Also most of the clothes can be given to the laundry. And you have time. In recent days it has rained in the evening and at night and always violent. True tropical halt. Even now the rain has surprised us and we need it or not wet regenen have to get back to our barracks. The mosquitoes leave me in spite of impregnated mosquito nets, mosquito spray and impregnated clothes not alone. Well. Also, most of our patients have either on the inside malaria - and then tuberculosis, HIV-pos. or sickle cell anemia have - or more together. However, hypertension and diabetes, it has very many. This is, at least not that much different than ours. But it lacks many things. Today is the appointed recently supply of Glucophage (for diabetes Medis) all already. An infusion is lacking total. Basically, every patient needs
here at least one member who cooks for him and take care of him. Also bring towels with the patients themselves. Since is a first clear what a family, a woman can mean a man. That this can be vital. - In contrast to what I get to feel constantly in Switzerland, that we look for everything ourselves must. That the ideal case, is if you never need someone. That it then good, if everything was created alone.
Because the hospital lacks the infusions, the members are each instructed to go to this or another buy in the pharmacy and bring it to the hospital.
This morning on the ward I have seen bad - so I seem to automatically have now to some extent shielded - but it concerns me very much, but I'm still good.
So, this is a short view. More to come ....
