Day 11: Thursday

My alarm woke me at 6:45am, so I ate a peanut butter sandwich and left for the hospital at 7:30am. I went to the women's general ward, where nothing interesting happened for several hours. Mostly the doctors were just going around and talking to the patients in Swahili. The doctor who assigned us topics talked to us briefly about our cases (mine being acute and chronic renal failure), but other than that, nothing of interest happened in the general wards. So we went to Casualties and Minor Theater, where I saw some students put in sutures, but didn't get a chance to put any in myself (I just assisted with stuff). We finally left the hospital at around 1pm.

The cherry yogurt drink I got at the market (highlight of my day).

After we got back and ate lunch, we walked to the market (Nakumatt). I bought some local beer (Tusker) and a cherry yogurt drink to try. A while after we got back, we had dinner (potato/banana mix with vegetable stew), played some Uno, and went to bed. It was a pretty uneventful day.

  1. I hope that beer is better than that awful salty Costa Rican beer we tried!
