Tim's Daily Nigerian Times (Day 6)

Feb 27, 2008 – Day 6


Awoke with French toast and syrup on the table, we were all ready for a hearty breakfast knowing that another long day lay ahead….


The majority of the physicians’ time was now being spent at the OR, with Pauletta slaving away at the urodynamics and Sherri trying desperately to keep us all organized. We started the day off with a mid-shaft hypospadias for which we performed a TIP repair with Bill Ardill, the general surgeon missionary from California, looking on. We carried out another PV sling (thankfully more straightforward), and a urethral dilation to finish off the shorter day in the OR than yesterday.


After dinner we were serenaded with music at a loud volume until about 10pm by the other group staying at the guesthouse. Sherri, 10th degree black belt in Soduku, challenged Tom (a lowly green belt) to winner takes all, battle royal, soduku cage match. It really ended up in a nasty way with pencils being thrown and bloody paper cuts on both sides. We managed to pull them both apart and send to their rooms for a timeout. We all fell asleep exhausted after a full day and evening activities.


Lesson of the Day:
Use C Batteries wisely, misuse may cause shocking and corrosive results!
