Even though I was volunteering mainly within Ear Nose Throat different nurses or doctors would come get me to show me their department. When this happened I more watched than helped but other volunteers that had a better idea of how to help were able to. I watched several C-sections, vaginal births, and other surgeries. One area that I was able to help in was the injection room. If the ENT was getting slow I could poke my head out to look across the room and see if there was line for the injection room, which there typically was. Many people would be waiting to get Malaria injections. There was a big push for people to vaccinate their children at early ages to prevent other illnesses and some people came for this but others were skeptical. In the physical therapy room I saw a two year old boy who had received an injection on the nerve to his leg and he was unable to walk or crawl for six months. |
