I didn't have internet access for a few days so this is the first time I've been able to put an entry. Thursday night they threw a party for us as a thank you for coming. The following day was a Friday and a holiday but we were still operating. The staff agreed to work on their day off for us. The last day at LAMB hospital was amazing. We did a Turner-Warwick scrotal inlay on a person with BXO involving the urethra. I've never seen that before. I also did another adult hypospadias and a meatal advancement and chordee. The people here are very friendly and dedicated to the people. I'm sad to be leaving.
On Saturday we made the 7 hour drive again to Dhaka and dropped off Dr. Ganesh at the airport. We stayed at Dr. Das' friends' house in Dhaka. On Sunday we went to the Dhaka Medical College and met with Dr. Sayeba a prominent gynecologist and the best vesicovaginal fistula surgeon in Bangladesh. She showed us her fistula program. We visited the ward and their training center. It's amazing what she's built here and it's appalling what these women had to go through. We met several during our tour. Now we're on our way to Bhopal and the next part of our trip. Will write more later. I'm running out of internet time.
