A sign over the entrance to the Burn Center at Cook County Hospital, Chicago, reads: “There is a special place in heaven for those who care for the burn patients." Tomorrow, skin grafts will be placed in the burned, retracted eyelids of an epileptic girl who fell into a fire during a seizure. Her burned, retracted eyelids no longer cover her corneas, causing the corneas to dry out and if not corrected will lead to blindness.

A seven year-old girl collapsed at school, regained consciousness at home and was brought to Tamale Teaching hospital. On admission she was not in distress, had a normal oxygen concentration and chest x-ray, but she had decreased breath sounds in her left chest. The mother mentioned the child eats groundnuts/peanuts. At bronchoscopy, an ebony seed was removed from her trachea. The child was sent home in good health.
Ebony Seed removed from trachea of this girl with the help of nurse anesthesiologist.
