Had an interesting couple of days with regard to medicine. Had some great teaching yesterday from one of the British doctors (Dr Howlett) who has been at KCMC intermittently since 1983. He spoke to us about the causes of paraplegia in East Africa. One of the major causes is konzo - a disease associated with high-dietary intake of cyanide, primarily from the cassava plant. Dr Howlett himself helped to describe this disease in the Lake Victoria region during several outbreaks throughout the 1980s. More stories to come, but for now, a few more pictures...
