On the way into Kirtipur, we stopped at Trauma Bir Hospital not far from our hotel. We went to the ICU to visit the lady who had the tongue operation. Everyone must take off their shoes to keep the floors as clean as possible. Just like home!
The ICU is an expansive room with room for about 14 patients. Nurses' station in the middle.
View of a ward from the stairs; also wide open; even beds in the middle away from the walls. Just a place to treat illness; not a hotel.
At Kirtipur OR, everyone rapt listening to Tom Davenport lecture about flaps.
Tom at work; wealth of information.
This patient is having decubitus ulcers treated. He has them on both hips; he was trapped under rubble for an extended period of time.
Back to Bir on the way home to check our lady again. Noticed this very San Francisco-esque set of buildings.
The old army hospital next to Bir is coming down, bit by bit. Every day we see some progress.
Came to my room right from work and dived into a set of by-laws as a start for Kirtipur Hospital and 16 more protocols for the nurses to use. If I don't do it now, I will let it add to my list of things at home and it will probably not get done...
