I returned from my 6th annual trip as visiting pediatric neurosurgeon to Kijabe Hospital in Kenya this November.
My mentor Dr. Leland Albright and his wife Susan Ferson (the best nurse practicitioner ever) spent many years developing pediatric neurosurgery in Kijabe. Read their amazing blog here. While every year I am grateful for the privilege of serving in a place that has such need, there were many things that made this visit special: I spent time with Dr. Albright, who was returning to visit Kijabe for the first time after more than 2 years away. Dr. Kathryn Wagner, a neurosurgery resident from Baylor College of Medicine, came to Kijabe with us. In 2 weeks, Kathryn took care of a variety of neurosurgery problems that many in North America have only ever seen in textbooks. We worked alongside pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Emmanuel Wegoye - a Ugandan-born neurosurgeon (and wonderful father, husband, human being!) whose path has taken him to train with awesome pediatric neurosurgeons including Dr. Ben Warf in Uganda and Dr. Graham Fieggen in South Africa. I know this marks the start of years of friendship and collaboration. Comments are closed.
