Day 5 - Tuesday (Feb. 14) - Surgical Team

The surgical team had fewer cases today but they also had two fewer operating rooms. The hospital was only able to provide two OR rooms. As a result, they were able to let a few of their team members join the Village Medical Clinic.

There were a total of 9 cases treated today that included: tattoo removal, bullet removal, jaw repair, tubes for ears, tonsillectomies, cleft palate repairs, fixing noses so that people can breath, removal of skin lesion and repairing a hole that formed from the nose to the palate. A more unusual case was excising an infection from a girl's thumb whose brother had bitten her. I'm sure there is an interesting story there along with some words for a sister to her brother.
