A busy day at the Rhein-Valley Hospital


ak. It was an exceptionally busy day at the Rhein-Valley Hospital today. On top of the usual 35-40 mother-infant pairs that arrived for Thursday's Neonatal Day, there was a constant flow of regular patients as well. By day's end, well over 100 patients had been attended to. Amongst the many interesting cases, there was one young girl who was terrified of a thermometer thinking it was a large needle. She protested so vehemently that Dr. Wanjara not touch her with it, Nurse Kennedy was forced to let her out of the room so she could run outside to "safety". Poor Wanjara was left in shock, not quite sure what he had done wrong.
