Night in the Museum

Our afternoon clinic patients did not show up, so I went to the Uganda Museum with Fred, a “cultural expert” from the church. It was very interesting to learn about all the tribes and the changes that have come so rapidly since the first British explorers in the 1850’s. I could have spent days in there.

The picture is of a knife used to do a C-section in 1879. Eleven days after the surgery the patient had completely recovered.

Wow, talk about a hands on museum :-)

Hope all is well in Africa. As you know, your grandma is moving this month to Colorado, we are all going to miss her here at NE.

Blessings,
Craig
