Full hearts after an awesome team dinner to celebrate the end of Dr. Njatha's #PedSurgBestSurg rotation. His hard work enabled us to take better care of our patients & we'd happily welcome him back to our team anytime! @BethanyKids @KijabeHospital @PAACS_ @DimingoGomezMD @md_muse

Full service care from Dr. @DimingoGomezMD for one of our young patients. I’ve found there’s little anxiety that Paw Patrol can’t fix! #pedsurgbestsurg @KijabeHospital @BethanyKids @PAACS_

Rounded on patients today who speak English, Swahili, Kikuyu, Meru, Turkana, and Arabic. Woosh! Life in a rural mission hospital! So thankful for friend-translators accompanying some & our diverse nursing staff helping with others! @KijabeHospital @BethanyKids @Dgomez966463782

Patient "no-showed" for 3-month follow up AKA "noncompliance." BUT they were unable to sell a cow to get the money for transport. The cow finally sold last week. Great reminder to to stop labeling patients & instead focus on how I can equip them if the next cow doesn't sell (1/2)
