Medical work

I was in this Hospital for a brief couple of days during my Medical Elective time. The above logo on the hospital's front greeted me when I first arrived. And it has left a deep impression in me till today (besides the long line of villagers with big containiers queueing up for water at the public tap beside the hospital every morning and evening).

Today I visited the UMN website, and found it again.

Working in a pretty well-equipped medical facility now, I thought back at the little Mission hospital in the foothill of Nepal (the villagers call the hospital "Mission").

I still always wonder how the little hospital cope to provide adequate heathcare with their limited facilites (getting a CT scan means packing off the patient to go across the border into India, get the scan done in India, then come back with the films... if the patients is still alive by then), when here in Sabah we still find many limitations accessing healthcare facilities.

Probably, with limited facilities, we would develop better our clinical skills and acumen, and hope for miracles sometimes.
