This has felt like a busy week to me, which is good as I don't have Christie here anymore. The wards are full, and even overflowing to one of the surgical wards here. I have also been busy preparing afternoon lectures for the medical residents here. I have focused on reading EKGs for the past week, although I think I will focus on something else next week as I think they are starting to suffer from EKG overload. They do seem to be picking things up and are very interested in learning. One resident told me that he is really enjoying learning about EKGs but to him they are still "magic."
The picture below is the sunset over a small village below the hospital. Earlier this week during the day I heard some loud squealing coming from the direction of the village. I think started to hear what sounded like a motor coming from the same direction. Both sounds seemed to be getting closer and closer, and I was a little puzzled until suddenly from around the bend I saw a motorcycle with two men on the front, and a large live pig strapped to the back of the motorcycle. It was squealing all along. Unfortunately I was not quick enough to get a picture of this before they had traveled beyond the next bend. I had seen live animals being transported before, and I had seen unusual amounts of people/cargo strapped onto motorcycles before, but this surely was an unexpected combination.
