The Glostavent -- perhaps the sequel to The Groundnuts Project -- is the
name for our new anesthesia machine. It arrived about a week ago and we
had a visiting anesthesiologist come out to show us the ropes the first
part of this week. It's been great -- although a little bit expensive
it's perfect for our environment and will be fantastic for what we're
doing here. It should help us to give safer anesthesia and smoother
anesthesia as well, especially for some patients who are more ill and
can't withstand the usual drugs that we give. What a great gift to the
hospital -- thanks to all of you who helped contribute to make this happen!

Matt,
I want to thank you for your blog these past few years. Your transparency during the difficult and joyful times as a medical missionary have been such an encouragement. There have been many a call night in the ICU when I've read your blog and been reminded to persevere (through the hurdle called residency). Well, I'm now in french language school and will be off to Mali in 8 months!
God bless
