Surgery Clinic - January 20-27, 2007

Well, we've just finished our first day of surgery, and there is a feeling of satisfaction in the air because all went well. This surgical team is a large one with five general surgeons, three gynecologists, four anesthesia folks, ten nurses and a host of support personnel (totally 40 in all!). Many are veterans of previous trips, but there is a large sprinkling of newcomers. Because of setting up, screening the patients, church and lunch, we didn't even begin until 2 pm...and they still did eleven surgeries today. What a way to start!
