I started my new rotation today in the infectious disease ward – female side. Apparently there are one too many patients in the ID ward for just one team to manage everybody and so there are separate teams for men and women. I feel less like a visitor this week although I still don't know anything besides the medicine department, the outpatient clinic, the wards and the library. Rounds today was really interesting - I have never seen so much collective pathology in one area. There were several patients with Cryptococcal meningitis, Tuberculosis, Kaposi's sarcoma and few patients with suspected toxoplasma. I even saw this one young girl slowly recovering from tetanus.
Later in the afternoon, we went to Garden City, Kampala's most happening mall. It houses a casino, supermarket, food court, a movie theater and few restaurants including a rooftop bar that is a bit too pretentious. We had dinner at Ranchers - an American style deli/steakhouse. There is not much to say about the ambiance as the gingham-tablecloth covered tables are placed in the corridor surrounding the store but the food was fresh and delicious. I even got to try bitter lemon !
