Random Pictures of Life and Work in Bangladesh

Hi!  Here are some more pictures of different aspects of life and my work here in Bangladesh.  Enjoy!

This is the river behind the compound.

These are some of the kids that follow us around whenever we go walking by the river. Aren't they precious!

This goat's just chillin' out outside the hospital.  Not exactly what you see outside of a hospital in the US.

Joy (one of the short termers here for a couple of months) came to watch a c-section and help out with the baby.

Mary (one of the expat nurses) with some patients in clinic. The lady on her left has a horrible vesicovaginal fistula that we have to send to Dhaka to see if they can repair it because it is too complicated for me to do.

Side note- aren't the variations in dress interesting.  The ladies in black are married and wearing burkas, whereas the other two aren't married yet.

WARNING- The rest of these pictures are medical and somewhat gross.

This is me operating on Mrs M.  She had a 30cm ovarian mass that we removed.  She is a tiny woman and this mass made her look term pregnant.  Fortunately we were able to remove it and there was not any other evidence of cancer in her abdomen or pelvis.  Please pray that it is benign and that she recovers quickly.

 

Thanks for all your prayers and encouragement!
