First Rain

Yesterday, it was the first real rain of the rainy season, or so i'm told. It was very exciting and cooled down quite a bit! I also had a very frustrating bittersweet morning with a patient that was referred to me for cancer counseling from Blandina. It was a typically sad story of a lady highly mismanaged at the district level, then at the tertiary level with wrong surgical procedure, and then referred to chemo with an extremely unpleasant patient doctor interaction that actually led her to make the choice of not receiving treatment and just praying. This was the reason she was sent to me, so i can convince her to get the treatment which I did successfully and thanks to the help of Ella (amazing cancer nurse) was even able to get started that day. This lady was so sweet, the poor quality of care and lack of knowledge and most importantly patient accountability is disgraceful.
