A Dose Of Reality & Hopefully Inspiration
By alex | July 19, 2007
I have had several friends who have or will be working with James Appel a missionary doctor working in Tchad, Africa he writes a blog about his mission. Here is an insert that I found that gave me hope.
I’m in way over my head and it’s all I can do to not panic. I’m not a surgeon after all and the mistakes I’ve just made prove it. Now, can I save this lady’s leg and kidney?
I had opened the belly of a woman with a large lower abdominal mass. A huge smooth lumpy, solid but not hard mass fills her entire pelvis. I identify the right ovary and tube with what appears to be a fibroma sticking out behind and a huge fibroma filling the rest of the belly.
I start to remove the uterus but it’s difficult because there’s no room to manouver to get down the side to the base. I do most of the right side and then move over to the left. That’s where I start to make mistakes because I misdiagnosed the problem.
Guess what you have to find out the rest here.
