open house

This past Monday was the annual Hospital Open House.  Before the hospital opens at the beginning of an outreach, the hospital opens up for all the crew to visit and play games.  Each ward and OR, as well as the lab and x-ray, has a different activity.  In our department, we had practice suturing, intubation on dummies, and my station: dress-up and play surgeon.  Despite all of our gowns and gloves being way too big, our room was definitely popular with the kids on board!
