New Equipment and supplies

Back on Nov 2, I mentioned a shipment of supplies that was being donated from a closed hospital in the U.S. The problem mentioned with part of the shipment has not been resolved yet. However, a large part of the equipment and supplies has arrived. This has been a great encouragement and we have enjoyed unpacking and sorting through the boxes. Among the new equipment: EKG, teaching microscope, new hematcrit centrifuge, surgical and orthopedic equipment, and lots of various medicines. Some of the equipment is planned for future expansion, possibly into surgical Obstetrics. Neither Scott nor I currently do surgical OB but another physician who may be joining us soon does C-sections. I know this would be a big improvement in care for the Nurse-midwives who run a birthing center just down the street from our clinic. In the meantime, I can't wait to incorporate the new EKG, microscope and other stuff into our daily practice.
