It's hard to believe that we're already more than halfway done with our cases! As anesthesia residents with Team Heart for the first time, this has been an incredible educational opportunity for us. We are learning a lot about how to take care of complicated patients that we don't generally get a lot of exposure to back home. Also, practicing medicine in an environment that we are less familiar with has pushed us to be creative problem-solvers! Every day is so different and a new challenge arises every morning, but that's what keeps things interesting!
In addition to working closely with Danny & Nelson, we've gotten to know the surgical team, cardiologists, nurses and procurement engineers better these past few days and it's so great to be working with a group of energetic, dedicated and fun-loving people! We feel lucky that we were invited to join such a great crew! Days in the OR can be pretty busy and intense, but its always so refreshing to walk down the hall and see our patients in the ICU and step-down doing so well. We look forward to another few days here in Kigali with Team Heart!
