Practicing otolaryngology for twelve years, the majority of the time as the only otolaryngologist without other specialists in an area of over two million people, has required studying, reading, consulting physicians, accessing Hinari and Youtube. Caring for many sick patients has been the best teacher of all. Helping to restore the health of others resulted in increased confidence and the personal satisfaction of contributing to society.
Living, working and sometimes disagreeing with the Dagomba of northern Ghana resulted in appreciating another culture, religion and race. It taught me the common human feelings shared by all men. The Dagombas welcome strangers believing we are enriched by each another. One of their proverbs states that a stranger can do no wrong. They forgive my many mistakes and truly appreciate the little help I have given.
