Today is Friday, the prayer day. We don’t have elective procedure done. We have a rest day after the morning ward round. I have some reading at guest house.
It’s my first day in the hospital. It is not busy, only around ten patients with two operations done. But I need to make a difficult decision. There was a 100yrs old man, bed bounded, admitted 3 days ago with infected, gangrene left foot.
It was another long day of briefing with different parties. MSF project is to provide nutrition, outreach, outpatient and emergency surgical services in three areas of the Sanaa Governovate in the North of Yemen.
I spent 11 hours in Doha, waiting for transit to Sanaa, capital city of Yemen. I finally arrived at the guest house at around 8pm. I was first told to have departure at 5am the next morning.
