I actually got some work done last night…well PhD related work! :) It felt really good to do some ‘engineering’ work! These few weeks away from lab reminded me why I started a PhD…I kind of like biomedical research!!
On that note… I was asked to repair certain anesthetic machines yesterday! I think they are fried the machines because of the voltage difference between SL and the US (where the devices came from)…but we’ll see. My electrical engineering skills will be tested soon :) I really hope I can fix at least some of them. The entire hospital has one anesthesiologist (one sources said the entire country- I am guessing Sierra Leonean anesthesiologist). Most of the operations are done by nurse anesthetists!!!
Oh…the ginger ‘beer’ (non alcoholic) here is sooo good!! I could drink liters!!
Back to work….
