Team 8 is at Double Harvest, arriving uneventfully. Lots of confusion at the airport, with people shouting and grabbing our luggage. We made it up to Double Harvest in the back of a pickup truck since the minivan couldn’t make it through the mud.
We were greeted by 3 awesome nurses who have been invaluable in getting us settled in. Team 7 left Double Harvest nicely organized, making for an easy transition for us.
We started with a closure of a machete wound to a hand, and followed with a closed IM femoral nail on an individual who showed up with a 5 day old displaced fracture.
Also of note was the arrival of a woman who delivered her child and then walked 1 hour to us, with umbilical cord and placenta still in place. Baby and mom doing well.
5 cases on for tomorrow, including a tibial nonunion.
A good first day.
