Three weeks
ago I shook the whole bed when sick with malaria, my first attack in nine years
working in Ghana. I had been taking malarone faithfully, but I did get mosquito
bites while sitting outside one evening the week before. After treatment I was tired
for one week and am now back to normal.
Operation
Smile and the West African College of Surgeons, ten excellent surgeons in all,
each spent one week at Tamale Teaching Hospital doing fifty elective head and
neck surgical cases which I had not done because of the volume of emergency
cases. It is now necessary to check on these patients’ pathology and refer
those who need radiation and chemotherapy.
