Incredibly, the ER and ICU were unopened and used as storage when we arrived 7 months ago. If not for our efforts, they would remain closed. The ER opened 4 months ago and is gradually looking more like an ER. The ICU took its first patient yesterday, and the second, shown, today. To open it in grand style, the patient today had a cardiac arrest, which we were able to recover. I paid a visit this evening and the patient is hanging on, albeit on a ventilator and potent drugs.
Also shown is me with the chiefs of medicine and surgery, who are the key practitioners for the ICU. Progress!

Fantastic! I wish I could have been there.
Sir, great to hear from you. I doubt the survival of the patient (came in w/severe head injury) but great teaching. Thanks for your guidance and friendship over here in the mountains.
