I really appreciate the support :) <br /><br />I definitely hear what you're saying about the mostly learning/ observing bit: the experience for those in medicine seems quite frustrating at times; in radiology it's somehow easier to jump in with both feet. <br /><br />You are right about the CT! We called it classic TB meningitis, with hyperenhancement of the pachymeninges and marked hydrocephalus resulting in transependymal flow of CSF.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09193217581105055072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840165600884713926.post-49053807629556548332012-07-18T20:25:07.226-07:002012-07-18T20:25:07.226-07:00Oh - and what's the image?

Reading your blog, it seems as though you're actually implementing changes in the way in which they practice medicine - setting up a camera, and encouraging them to do less invasive procedures... It's really interesting to read, and compare to my experience, which I felt was more of a learning experience than anything else. For the most part, I feel like I took part in their rounds, and learned the way in which they practice medicine. Besides a few teaching sessions that I lead with the Kenyan interns, there weren't many other moments during my stay there during which I felt like I changed things for the better. It's extremely impressive that during such a short stay you've already become so involved and have various projects in the works. Anyway... I guess that's all I have to say for now. Wish I was there with you! I have a few stories about Kenyan goat roasts, but will save those for when you get back :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623570005286381451noreply@blogger.com
