Consulting in the clinic, Gladys, our interpreter and a patient |
The sisters and the cardiologist from Shisong are here to conduct a cardiac screening clinic yesterday and today. There is a very sophisticated cardiac center in Shisong which provides state of the art care. There is currently a US cardiologist there Steve Peck, who we met when he arrived here in Douala on his way there. He is also a Mission Doctors Association doctor and is going to be there for 4 weeks.
The good news is that the eclamptic patient from the other day seems to be recovering very nicely. She seems to be ok and will be going home soon along with her baby.
As of today, we have seen over 400 patients in the clinic and performed 30 cesarean sections as well as 5 ectopic surgeries. Our next blog will most likely be from Njinikom next week.
