One hundredth ENT Surgical Patient


I have been keeping a log of the patients that ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) department has been taking to the operating room. On Friday, we had our 100th patient since I have been here. I have been involved in most of the ENT surgeries, though not all.
John is a seven month old boy who was strapped to his mothers back while riding a motorcycle taxi. The motorcycle took a tumble and so did mom and baby. There is a very nasty wound under the bandage with exposed bone and tissue loss (much of the eyelid gone). I was able to do some plastic reconstruction to close the wound and graft the eyelid. We pray that it will heal well.
