A visit to the General Hospital in Nakuru

rs. Towards noon I got a call from Alice (see picture right), nurse at the General Hospital in Nakuru. As it is Sunday I took the time to visit her. It has been about a year since I saw her last. There I also met doctor Frederick (see picture above). I quickly jumped into the uniform to be allowed to enter the operation theatre rooms. There Alice told me that they urgently need some advice. The sterilisation machine is out of order and they had no clue what could be the reason. As they know that I am a practical woman, they thought I might help. In fact I could check the machine and saw that a fuse was defective. So we replaced it with a new one and the machine was working again...
