This is the type of visa the government of mozambique decided to give me. it is also my new philosophy of life. thank you. Thursday, July 26, 2007. It has come to my attention. There's a blog that I want to point out today. It is called Pediatrician in Swaziland. I spent considerable time reading Ryan's blogs - really interesting. Thanks for recommending it!

SwaziBlog: Island Paradise
http://leahandmike.blogspot.com/2007/04/island-paradise.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2007. We finally took a real honeymoon and spent the last several days on Ilha. An island off the coast of Mozambique in the Indian Ocean. Inhaca. Is 40km from Maputo, a large coastal city in the southern part of Mozambique. It was everything I imagined an indulgent, beach honeymoon to be, except for the transportation. If you ever felt cramped flying to a tropical paradise in the middle seat on a plane you should try riding in a kombi. Early Saturday morning we made it to the pier.

Pediatrician In Botswana: November 2008
http://pediatrician-in-botswana.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 7, 2008. Listening through both ends of the stethoscope - A patient encounter, Part 1. There are two ends to a stethoscope, and it matters which is which. At least I used to think so. In well-meaning words with a slightly demeaning tone, the teaching physician explained to me that, because of the anatomy of the human ear, if the earpieces are in backwards, the doctor cannot hear. I believed him at the time, but now I know that he was wrong. To be continued…. Tuesday, November 4, 2008.

SwaziBlog: Mlilwane Game Reserve
http://leahandmike.blogspot.com/2007/04/mlilwane-game-reserve.html
Monday, April 9, 2007. There are several holiday this month and we started our trip with a 4 day weekend for Easter. We just returned from 3 nights at Mlilwane. Game Reserve about 40 minutes from Mbabane, where we are living. This park has many animals, but no elephants, lions, giraffes or rhino - we'll have to wait until later for those. We met 3 other medical students there and had a great time, a little wet, but at least they had hot water at the hostel we stayed at! Dixon, is working in Siteki. Are a...

SwaziBlog: Mbabane Government Hospital
http://leahandmike.blogspot.com/2007/04/mbabane-government-hospital.html
Wednesday, April 18, 2007. I spent the day on Ward 8, the Pediatric Unit, of the Mbabane Government Hospital today. What an amazing experience, eye opening and very sad. I saw a very different style of medicine than the medicine that is practiced within the walls of the Baylor COE clinic. This hospital has limited access to resources, food for the patients and basic medical supplies that should be abundant at a hospital. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Make your own badge here.

http://leahandmike.blogspot.com/2007/04/two-more-days-on-homestead-with-young.html
Thursday, April 19, 2007. Two more days on the homestead with Young Heroes. A double orphan in the Young Heroes program. And her support system; her gogo. A few stories from the homesteads:. Was cracking open Marula. Nuts from their tree, from which she was collecting seeds in a bucket. Phephe. Later explained that when she fills up a 5-kilo bucket with these, she can sell them to an oil producing factory for 50 Emalangeni. But just recently started refusing to take them. She seemed to have given up ...

Manzini to Mbabane (the capital of Swaziland). The 17 hour flight from NYC to Jo'burg was quite an experience! Everything went smoothly and we on time arrived with all our bags. We would recommend South African Airways to everyone, they give out FREE wine with dinner! Sitting here at my desk at work your words and picture...
