GHANA - DAY 13

Seventh and last shift at the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital A&E. More death, happy nurses, and travelling to Kakum National Park.

Another quiet morning so we had time to chat with the nurses a little. Did some tidying and stocking and then two patients were pushed into triage in wheelchairs. The male nurse I was working with pointed to one and said you triage that one, and he did the other one. My lady was dead. So I did my checks and asked the doctor to pronounce, which he did. She'd died recently and probably on the way and her brother was distraught 😥

During drug rounds there was some celebrations and sister Bernice called me over to join in! One of the nurses I'd getting married in march and had brought in an invitation for all the nurses in A&E!

The rest of the shift was full of chatting and general activities. Then sister took me to get some supplies and we went out on the roof and I found the IT department, which made me laugh.

After a quick turn around at the house we headed to Kakum, via dinner at Cape Coast (where I took the opportunity to get my feet in the water) to stay the night in a tree house!
