We finished a fantastic day of operating....our tally for the week is 184 cases. I can't post the patient pictures but all of my 4 cases turned out really well barring some minor anesthesia problems. It's really late here in Fes, so I'm going to be brief and hopefully chat more tomorrow. However I'll post some of my Bourdain-style medina pics and today's Operation Smile approved pictures.

Camel head for lunch?
It seems that Moroccans have Joel Robuchon beat with the "organ meat" fad. From left to right--pigeon sausage, camel kidneys, camel tongue, followed by unknown animal lung (hanging on the wall and on platter)
Rare shot of Coke Donkey sponser. You had to watch out or they would run you over due to narrow alleys and aggressive drivers (who made you pay for the picture...if you're caught.)
My other partner in crime....Clinton getting to do his own case. Both of us did our own cases with supervision from US and Moroccan surgeons. I wasn't able to get a picture of myself operating.
The daily congregation around the "board." Julie, our charge nurse, the slanted hat rules the OR thrown...nicely.
