It is Wednesday and yes, I am a fan of the term "hump day." I forgot to mention in yesterday's blog post that I made a fourth child cry because of my skin color and that I met the coolest set of twins. I saw 3 year old twin boys named Barack and Obama-America far from home. Today at work, I saw a patient with complications from enteric fever. He has an intestinal perforation and so the doctor is trying to determine the size of the perforation to determine whether it can heal on its own or whether surgery is necessary. Aside from that, it was a normal day at St. Gregory Hospital. I started asking some of the questions during the interview in Twi, but most of the people did not understand me. It was entertaining for the people in the room to hear my butchering of the language.
Last night, we had yam and fish for dinner. Angie got mad at me because I couldn't finish my food. She jokingly threatened to beat me. Douglas, Jen, and I got into an interesting conversation about Freemasons. In Ghana, there are apparently a lot of conspiracy theories about Freemasons in the music industry in the US. According to Douglas, Jay-Z, Rhianna, Beyonce, Lil' Wayne, and Kanye are all Freemasons. It was a very funny and interesting conversation. We got a new intern last night. She is a grad student from Tufts studying nutrition. Hopefully she doesn't feel out of the loop because of the number of inside jokes that we already have. Cheers to the rest of the week!
