“So HOW long has this urinary catheter been in?”
By the twentieth time that I had to ask the question to yet another patient in urinary retention, neither myself or Dr. Brett Lebed, my Urologist compare-in-arms, was surprised by the answer. The Urology clinic at Central Regional Hospital in Cape Coast was brimming with anxious individuals with indwelling catheters placed long ago, for unknown reasons. These proud people who could neither understand or remember the rationale for the catheter placement, sometimes 5 or 10 years ago, simply wanted it removed. They came from all over the region including neighboring countries such as Ivory Coast and waited without complaint for hours and hours in the stifling heat of the overcrowded clinic area.
Happy Holidays!
CV board and volunteers in the spirit of continued giving locally and abroad provided 50 gift cards to the women and children’s shelter in Woodbury, New Jersey.
Thanks to all of our supporters for making this happen.
