My health talk to the masses

This mornings news was that on the film showing last night a snake appeared. I was asleep and missed the drama of snake bashing and killing. My turn to give the health talk to the masses. 200+ patients. I’d been asked to tell them about syphilis- I had to do a refresher! Main message- avoid sex with multiple partners and use a condom! They all listened attentively 😊. Then back on the boat to work. Lots of amoeba. Call to see whipworm under the microscope. No other dramas and finished up on a beautiful afternoon. No rain or wind today. Sitting on deck it’s amazing watching what happens in the village. Mostly fish related. Bringing fish in, selling, spreading out to dry, sorting them, raking, putting into bales and selling to go off the island- then boats go out again at dusk. Call to prayer. Lots of noise. Smoke. Fish smells. Clouds of lake fly in distance. Non biting but impossible to be with - thankfully not near us.Leggi altro
