Hospital Open House

What a fun night for the crew to come together down in the hospital! There was renewed joy and laughter echoing the halls on Wednesday night for the Hospital Open House. This is a time to allow the non-medical crew to tour the operating rooms and wards before patients arrive. We have fun games to play, skills to learn like IVs (with enchilada sauce veins), and suturing with surgeons. Kids dress up like a surgeon and others find out what its like to irrigate a mouth wound. Don't worry, its only strawberry jelly. Our first patients were admitted today and the hospital is now open in Sierra Leone! Surgery starts tomorrow!
