The joys of medicine in Uganda. Kathryn had the joy of taking Gilbert to the dentist. She took him to a private place because it is not as long a wait to be seen. That being said it was not until three or more hours later that she was finished. Twenty minutes for consultation and tooth extraction, the rest was waiting time. I on the other hand though I did not have to wait as long, had the joy of taking all the new children for AIDS tests. There was one who did not cry, but the rest were very actively resistive to the idea. When we were leaving Janette did not want to get back in the car with me in it also, if Sylivia was not there to coax her in then I don’t know what I would have done. Luckily for me in the afternoon she seemed a bit happier with me and was up to the shaking my hand style friendship.
