Sunday
Today was our team’s first full day in Cambodia! Dr. Hsin and Dr. Bierbrauer saw patients in the clinic and decided which were fit for surgery. We are planning to perform as many surgeries as we can while we are here and are planning to be in the OR from Monday to Thursday. They cleared two patients for surgery tomorrow. In the meantime, the rest of the team got acclimated with the local medical staff and unpacked all of the medical supplies we brought. Our circulating nurses also prepped OR equipment and supplies for tomorrow’s surgeries.
Once our work at the clinic was complete, we went out for lunch at a nearby beer garden. We are really looking forward to starting our surgeries tomorrow!
