Thursday

We began our day with a trip to the Bone Setter's Hospital. This visit is a necessity for our groups as it was a visit to the Bone Setter's that precipitated the idea of a clean hospital for the poor at GSM. The running of the Bone Setter's is generational with the mixing of herbs a secret. It was amazing what we saw. This woman was treated for a hip fracture by splinting her leg, however, they showed us her X-ray which indicated a complete fracture in the neck of the femur. In our society, the head of the femur would be removed and replaced with a titanium head. 

 Dr Jill explains to Praveen this young lady's options so he can translate the information to her.

Dr Jay begins to anesthesize this lady for an extraction.


Several people watched surgeries!
