I'm now in NYC. Post Rwanda. Post Haiti. For those of you who knew my blog 5 years ago, I wrote about Rwanda. At that time, via the generous support of the Durant Fellowship awarded by Massachusetts General Hospital, I worked as a nurse in Rwanda from 2006-2007 with Partners In Health as well as with the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative in two rural health districts to launch primary care services to the community. Now I'm doing primary care in an underserved area in NYC.

Last week I helped Dr. Blaise review some health center cases. This child had a horrible sounding heart (although it didn't stop her from playing with my sunglasses and stethoscope). From the few diagnostics and clinical observations we have, it is probably a ventricular septal defect. We are referring her to Kigali physicians for potential surgery.
