Burns Ward

As expected I waited for nurse Faustina this morning for about 2 hours, not as bad this time although I was standing waiting because she agreed to meet at ward D3 so that was quite tiring and a bit annoying waiting again.
For me to be allowed to walk around the hospital with a dr. I need a letter stating this signed by the Medical director. He must be a very busy man because he hasn't been available for the past two days. "He's in a meeting"
There was also another girl following Faustina with me. She said she was a medical student from Moscow but she seemed extremely Ghanian to me!
After looking for the director again with no luck I was placed in the Burns ward to look around there with some very kind nurses who explained everything to me and were very hospitable and showed how they wrapped the plaster bandages. Some social workers also came in to discuss the patients health insurance, whether they are able to afford the costs. There were whole discussions going on between them because one child didn't have insurance and the family couldn't pay for the treatment costs so the social workers have to help them sort it out. (Happy I didn't become a social worker like the Penfound advice lady suggested haha)
There was one man with 3rd degree burns all over his body since he had an accident on his motorbike which went up in flames. Another little girl had a very big burn (3rd degree) on her arm because of hot water accident. She already had undergone grafting but it still looked very bright red. All her fingers were naturally amputated because of it. \
Hot water (thermal burns) is the main cause of burns I was told. Other reasons are chemical (with acid which people throw at each other during fights especially those working in the gold mines where they use some acidic substance to clean the gold), electrical, fire and frost (but not in Ghana obviously).

I've realised lots of the staff at the hospital have been to Scotland, for some training, such as the staff nurse at the Burns ward went to Glasgow and Dundee for a plastic surgery training.

When I'm asked which uni I'm from:   Norwich.   Oh, East London?  Sort of, it is East of London but I think they think it is in London. Surprisingly many people have heard of it though.
