ak. It was a busy day today. Amongst several cases of malaria and pneumonia, two elderly patients presented with severe asthma attacks. When they arrived at the hospital, they could barely breathe. Both had walked for over an hour so they could receive care. In Kenya, people walk or ride their bicycle to receive care for conditions that would otherwise be considered severe in the Western world. Both patients were treated with steroids, hydrocortisone, antibiotics, and within one hour they were on their way home again, a smile on their face..
