Follow-Up on Nita


Nita is the subject of a great story told by Dr. Erin Meier on her blog two days ago. If you haven't read it yet, go there and read it first. I'm on call this weekend, so I rounded on the maternity ward this morning. I met Nita and her husband. She's feeling very well, just weak from all the blood loss. I ordered a little more blood for her, but she'll be ready to catch an MAF plane back to the Jimi Valley in the next few days.

  1. I've enjoyed browsing through your blog this evening. It brings back many pleasant, long ago memories. My family lived at Kudjip from 1965 to 1968.

  2. How come they don't just put a hospital in the Jimi, where so many patients seem to come from? Too remote?
