Last work day at Rafidia

  We did rounds this am of all the pt.s. Mostly doing well, 1 with a post op pneumonia.  Then had our final "cup of tea" with the hospital director, where we get a gift and he asks for our suggestions. I asked for more nurses telling him they work too hard. 
  Dr. Samar removed a large hemangioma from a 11 month old's head.


 We left around 3 t go to Dr. Afman's family's house in the country.  Had a typical Palestinian family BBQ with kids running around, too much good food, and a wonderful walk around their property to eat green, bitter almonds called luz. There are a lot of wild flowers blooming now after all the rain.  Lupine, red poppies and shooting stars in the field with the olive and almond trees, wild asparagus.
  Oh, and we are in the local news....check the link.  See us in action.
