Kampala at last

We have been in Uganda for 6 days and are just beginning to adjust to the heat and the pace of life. Today was the last day of our course the day we met the employers.Unfortunately the hospital transport was not operational so Richard one of the clinical officers was sent on the bus to meet us.He was able to give me a quick run down on the hospital which sounds a challenging environment. He says they have run out of most drugs which is not unusual and there is no paper for clinical notes. With my hand writing that is probably a blessing. The work sounds really interesting and it looks like I will be working in medical out patients and in the community. It looks like the information about my surgical skills has got out and no one is going to let me near a scalpel.
We are in the VSO offices now waiting for a lift to Masindi for us 6 cases a mattress pots pans and Maggies box of wine.
