We got our first patient last night! A little 30month old coming in for a repair of her cleft palate repair done last year by OpSmile. She had developed a fistula, so they went in to close it. As you can imagine, 4 eager nurses…lots of anxious corpsmen…she’s getting a ton of attention!!
A little frustrating with some of our inexperienced staff…especially since I know there are tons of qualified personnel both back at home and then even in the galley!! I am acting as charge and also teacher and nurse and runner and secretary. Oh what a day!
Should get more patients tonight…thank goodness! We need more to do!
