The medical team is back from the North Region, with stories to tell of their time at the mission hospital.  They saw and did things that in no way resembled the medicine they practice in the U.S.  Probably the doctor said it best.  As a pediatrician in America she sees lots of strep throats, kids with influenza, bad colds, the occasional broken bones.  You know, normal stuff.  But here in Cameroon, she was treating kids all day long with malaria, typhoid, hepatitis, and amoebas.  It's a whole different world.  But they're glad they came. They had a chance to give back to poor people out here on the back side of nowhere.  Wouldn't trade their experiences for the world.  They're returning to civilization tomorrow night a little richer than when they arrived.  And they're already dreaming of coming back..
