2 sons, 2 languages, 2 countries, 2 worlds (work/home), 2 PhDs. Where translation and in-between-ness have become a way of life. Now with 2 cats and 2 Universities! Saturday, July 18, 2015. A Room with a View. I w as stunned when I woke up and opened the hotel room curtain in Giza (close to Cairo, Egypt):. I never, ever expected to see the pyramids from our hotel room! Zooming in during our last afternoon there. Swimming with a view:. It was amazing to be "neighboring " the pyramids for a few days! O jor...

Thursday, May 26, 2011. With neighbors like these. The Egyptians, don't ya just love 'em? The majestic pyramids, the flowing nile, the inspiring mass demonstrations for freedom. Can't get enough of 'em. The Egyptian border army just loves to send us work in the form of multiple trauma victims. Sudanese and Eritreans fleeing the horror in their own countries,. Yep, those lovable Egyptians. Not only are they hospitable, but they are great shots too! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What's Go...

The Sandman: Can you say Intrathecal?
http://quietusleo.blogspot.com/2012/11/today-i-provided-sedation-for.html
Tuesday, November 20, 2012. Can you say Intrathecal? Today I provided sedation for an unfortunate baby girl 8 months old with leukemia who needed both an intrathecal. And landed in the city. Thank God no one was injured. What made this child noteworthy, is that she is from Gaza. Actually, it's quite common. We treat many patients from Gaza. Even during times like these when we are being attacked from Gaza. The children in Gaza with cancer, all of them, are treated in Israel. Even at times like these.

The Sandman: December 2011
http://quietusleo.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 12, 2011. That epidural was not to be. From one of the rooms I heard a senior obstetrician yell, "We've got an abrupted placenta here, let's get her to the OR fast! Is when the placenta has separated from the uterus. This is a true emergency, because fetal oxygenation may be compromised and there may be significant bleeding. Both mother and child are in mortal danger. The mother, an obese bedouin woman was indeed bleeding. Since the maternal airway. Links to this post. Palestinian leader...

The Sandman: Pangs
http://quietusleo.blogspot.com/2014/08/pangs.html
Saturday, August 2, 2014. Over a year has passed since my last post. During this last year, angst engulfed me. But more about that in another post, if I get around to it.
