Lunch at Karibu


Looks good doesn’t it? I was entirely impressed with the selection and the price…. Until the next day. In fact, Patty and I paid dearly for this choice. Things are better now.

A very interesting day at work today. I got to take part in the case of a 21 year old woman with severe mitral stenosis, aortic and tricuspid regurgitation, and active asthma for c-section. We discussed the case thoroughly at “morning report” and had a solid plan, sans invasive monitors (so, more like a semi-solid plan). Unfortunately our carefully titrated epidural failed so the patient had a c-section with a partial block and halothane by mask. The vitals were stable throughout and mom and baby did very well. The baby was named Kevin (or the Kinyrwandan version) which means “the one who will watch over me”.

This evening Patty and I are having two of the residents over for dinner. These residents are leaving for Halifax in two weeks and we will try to answer their questions. Patty is in the kitchen cooking up a storm while I learned how to parboil and peel tomatoes. Has anyone ever done this? It seemed like an awfully great effort just to avoid a little GI issue. But, then I remembered lunch at the Karibu.
