One of my goals for this trip was to watch a surgery performed. On Thursday, Alexa and I watched two surgeries! The first one was a cesarean section performed on a mother who had a cervical edema and her baby was breech. The surgery went really well and took about 20 minutes. The baby was beautiful! The second procedure was a mastectomy, which took two hours! The patient was a 42-year-old woman. The doctor said he removed the breast because it would cause her extreme discomfort as the tumor grew, but that she would die from the spread of the cancer. This woman was asleep during the surgery. Here, doctors do not have specialties, so they rotate through every area of the hospital! One day you may be treating a child from malaria and the next, performing a cesarean section!
