Meet my little patient who has Kwashiorkor. We were trying to figure out his potassium level the other day and an EKG was going to be the fastest way to check. Stickers? We don't need them!!! We have suction bulbs with metal cups and EKG gel plus weird metal clamps. Amazing.
I am constantly in awe of my patients and even more impressed by the physicians I work with. They have so little but are more dedicated to learning than many. They constantly read, ask questions, search for new answers to old problems and find new ways to combat these problems given their limited resources. Every day that I leave the hospital I am struck by just how lucky am I... this is the gift I am given every day.
