Packing it in . . . Packing it up

    It is truly amazing what has been "packed in" during the past few days.  To start the week off Ahdang "packed" up his wife, Kono, and left for Chiang Mai Hospital where Kono delivered their son, Pong Pong. Ahdang is the maintenance officer at the conference center and Kono helps in the kitchen and dorm.  We are all so excited to have a newborn at the center. They arrived back this Thursday afternoon.

Dr. Susan opened up the Tuesday morning teaching session continuing her discussion of common sicknesses. Hepatitis, arthritis and back pain and seizures were the main topics.  She then showed some impressive photos of gouty tophi.  The students have seen Gout in Myannmar and Dr. Susan discussed identification, symptoms and treatment.
