Clinic work
Patient load in the clinic has picked up now that the main part of the Chinese New Year is over. The actual new year celebration lasts 2 weeks, but gradually the city is coming back to life and more shops are re-opening. Yesterday the clinic saw just over 100 patients. We are on track to see about this many again today. This afternoon is dedicated to lectures for the residents. A couple of the attending physicians cover the clinic during this time. I will be team teaching suture technique today. Peter Kwan, who is on faculty with Herman Memorial Family Medicine Residency in Houston, is the other facilitator. We are using pork of some kind. The residents assure me that none of it will go to waste after we are done. They plan on removing the suture and taking the pork home for dinner.

how did suturing go???
Question for you: There is so much in public health here about washing hands and the use (overuse) of anti-bacterial products. How does China deal with this? Do they promote the use of all these anti-bacterial products? Do they have the same resistent bugs that we face due to the use of anti-biotics?
