A friend sent me some questions this week
Hardest part of your work out there?
Hardest part is honestly the patients incredibly challenging social situations. A generation is literally dying off from the AIDS epidemic so grandparents are the main caretakers. Between limited resources and their knowledge & understanding of adherence to complicated regimens, providing excellent care is tough. Tribute to our counselors in the clinic that it works at all!
How often are you newlyweds in touch?
Nadeah and I use Gchat (we have internet at MSF office- but not at clinic or the house) about weekly and send e-mails most days. We'll see each other in May for her graduation as a lawyer in Cleveland.
Do you have any help at home with cooking and chores?
We have a maid at the house that does our laundry and cooks dinner each weekday. On weekends we're on our own. The other two docs are great and I really like living with them- which is key because we spend all day working and evening socializing together.
Best wishes on match day next week to all those involved!

Love your new blog, I sent it to my little sister who wants to be a doctor specifically to do work like this. Will keep reading as you post!
