Preparing for the next week!

So I am in Dhaka now, trying to adjust to jetlag and escape the wrath of mosquitoes. 

 

Unfortunately I've always been a very tasty target for mosquitoes but to date I haven't had any issues malaria or dengue.

In other news:

We've received a few copies of some ultrasound reading material and a few cds with PDF copies for the physicians we will be working with. Thanks to the donations from you all!

 

 Additionally we have some great news, a few more sessions will need to be scheduled as the interest level is so high. This is exciting for multiple reasons, hopefully the buy in is high and if things go well some of these other hospitals will see the need for an ultrasound and purchase one themselves. The teaching workshops will take place in both Dhaka and there will be a workshop in Sylhet as well! 

 

Tomorrow or the day after I'll be heading into Dhaka Medical College and Hospital to start preparing for the workshops themselves. This will include checking out AV equipment, checking and double checking that the computer and power point presentations will work. I'll also get a chance to round in the ICU as well! 

The ultrasound we will be using is in-country and will be in my hands by the end of next week (2/3).

Signing off for today!
