It is a true privilege to take care of some of our local patients. This gentleman works at a nearby Safari Park. He was recovering from an abdominal surgery and was still having some mild pain. When I asked him what he did for work, the reason for his discomfort became clear. He is the Park “elephant driver.” I did not ask him how I could get a similar license!
Do you have lower back pain - or a healing broken limb - or cerebral palsy - or pneumonia - or a burn? Have you recently had surgery? Has a snake bitten you? Physical Therapy can help you.
Yes, Christmas now! Have you considered a Christmas gift to the hospital ministries in Bangladesh? Here are a few suggestions of how just a few dollars can be a great help, and you can beat the holiday rush!
Back in April, 2011, a Mru man in his early 20s had fallen from a tree and was completely paralyzed from the waist down following a lumbar fracture. Mrus primarily survive through hunting and farming. They also live in remote hilly areas and their homes are built up on stilts. I think you can get the picture that it is not a wheelchair-friendly life style.
What do broken bones, plaster casts, and newborn babies have in common? Dr. John Bullock, retired orthopedic surgeon to Bangladesh, early in his ministry coined a new term to describe his medical practice at MCH - "orthostetrics"!
One of our retired colleagues (Tense Bullock) here for a few months decided not to waste time. She is painting this mural on one of the hospital walls. Why we can't have a little beauty amid the sterility of a hospital?! This is one reason I love children's hospitals. Could it be that adults could use some of the same bright colors and cheeriness? - Contributed by Dr. Stephen Welch
This is another snake bite victim to arrive with the snake. (See red bag.) While it is helpful to bring the snake in for identification, I just wish they wouldn't bring it LIVE!!!
