starting in the clinic Monday!


Just a brief entry. We met with Dr. Nacro this morning, and we're all set to start at 7:30 am Monday. We'll begin as observers, but hopefully this will help things progress a bit further. And we will all be happy to start seeing patients. I will be starting in a regional medical center - a CMA, in the northern part of the city. Dana & Leah will start in pediatrics, and Suzanne will start in Maternity. I'm nervous but looking forward to starting the clinical work at long last.

A couple photos here - the first is an example of the scenery here - its about the same, all the way from Bobo to Ouaga - in the wet season, that is.

The second is my nascent vegetable garden - doesn't look like much, but considering this was a patch of red dirt 2 weeks ago, I'm pretty impressed. The tall things along the back are the tomato plants, with lettuce in the foreground and onions off to the right.

Hope you all have a peaceful & restful weekend.
