Oh, and that 7 mo old septic boy from a week ago Friday? Went home from Athlone Hospital in Lobatse on Wednesday wondering what the big deal was all about. Nothing makes me feel better as a doc.

About Me
- Mike
- It’s a little odd, being retired and all. So much so that many of my colleagues are now calling it “re-prioritizing”. The thinking here is that there will be less existential identity angst about whether, as retired physician, I can still call myself “physician”. Well…. I re-prioritized on the 27th of December 2019 and have not hung up my stethoscope. Through various degrees of separation, I have connected with an organization and am headed to Gidel in South-Central Sudan where I will be working at Mother of Mercy Hospital. 11°07'07.7"N 30°37'41.1"E for a 3-4 month gig. It will be back to doing what I love most about medicine; the nuts and bolts of history, physical, diagnosis in real time, creative approach to disease and no electronic health record. Perfect.

Good job on the yardage. Very fun to hear the little one thought everything was no big deal.
Miss you!
3,000!!!! Woot!!!
I think we went maybe 1,200 today, with loads of kicking. We're working on stroke all week. Good stuff.
