Mielock In Focus: December 2008
http://mielockinfocus.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 26, 2008. Labels: Lusaka and Livingstone. Tuesday, December 16, 2008. On December 28th, I am going to Africa with Dr. Jeffery Colquhoun. And a small group of his friends on a medical mission. I am very honored that Dr. Colquhoun. Has invited me to join him in helping the people of Zambia, and I recognize my fortune in being in a position to have the resources. And time necessary to do this. This blog is my attempt to share this unique experience with my family and friends.

Sunday, February 15, 2009. The next morning we began seeing the patients. Within a couple of hours Dr. Colquhoun was doing surgeries. The patients had been notified by one page anouncements. Many traveled days by foot. Some from surrounding countries. There are less than 10 ophthalmologists in Zambia (the size of Texas). The entire porch was occupied by patients so eager to get help, that they had wated for days sleeping out side , on concrete, next to people they didn't know. Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Sunday, March 15, 2009. Outside the clinic, family members waited, sometimes for days. I helped made sure patients had the necessary drops and the YAG Laser (Cataract Patients) was adjusted for the doctor. We tried to keep him moving, so that we could help as many as possible. I set up and then, while Dr. Colquhoun fired the SLT Laser (Glaucoma Patients) , I adjusted the power. Labels: Mikes Experience in the Clinic. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, December 31, 2008. It's Just Another New Year's Eve. Today is the last day of what has been a year of many ups and downs, good times and bad, new beginnings and sad endings. For New Year's Eve, I celebrated at home with Ruth, Lisa, Carol Se, and Alanna. We enjoyed lots of good food and beverages and a short game of Chicken Scratch. Happy New Year to you! Here is a link to a New Year's Eve song by Barry Manilow, quite appropriate.enjoy! Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Monday, December 22, 2008.

Sunday, March 15, 2009. These were the first patients - and unfortunately for 81 year old Matches, he was the first. I will show his eye on an adjacent blog soon. On this second blog, I will show awsome close up photos of the proceedures on these patients. These are just one day's post ops. Mercy has Steven Johnson Syndrom. This photo shows Mercy, minutes after surgery, looking into her husband's eyes for the first time in over 4 months. I will tell more of this emotional story in a future posting. This ...

Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Tuesday, January 27, 2009. After 9 hours of flying from Detroit, we took advantage of our 7 hour layover in Amsterdam by taking a train into the city and then touring the city by boat on the famous canals. Even though. As a "best practice model". While we visited with the children, the home's Alice Botha. Described the other homes, schools and programs they oversee. Alice surprised a couple of us when she mentioned that the children who do not get adopted will eventually ...
