Arrival at Tenwek

We arrived at Tenwek yesterday safe and sound. We saw the effects of the drought they are experiencing as we were driven from Nairobi to Bomet. However this area has had a fair amount of rain and the crops and cattle look much healthier than other areas. We jumped right in with all day urology clinic today. The assigned PAACS resident is named Mesh Mwanzia, she is a very capable resident who is eager to learn. They have been saving cases for us and we were fairly busy seeing and evaluating patients today. There are urology cases scheduled for tomorrow and I am looking forward to using the new Storz equipment. More on the case mix in another entry. Dr Russ White tells me that Dr Okorie and his wife are due to arrive here today or tomorrow and I am looking forward to meeting and working with him. There are a good mix of visiting medical students, residents, and attendings from all over making for a friendly and congenial atmosphere. I will try to keep the blog updated on a regular basis. Thanks for your prayer and support.
