It is difficult for me to imagine the trauma and number of fatalities seen by Jim and other members of the hospital staff after an accident such as Saturday's horrific double bus crash. Yet, amid the frustrations of an ill-equipped hospital and the lack of efficient systems for handling this type of crisis, many lives were still saved.
The other night, we went to a nearby restaurant with a young American family (originally from Houston, Texas), who live about three hours north of us. They drove down to Tamale so their children, ages 10, 4 and 2, could attend a special week of group education which was set up for families in similar situations throughout the northern region of Ghana. For the most part, the children are home-schooled by their mom who also happens to be a certified teacher in Texas. The dad is an OB/GYN plus pediatrician doing full-time volunteer work in the Baptist hospital in Nalerigu since 2008.
