I wanted to share with you a recent surgical/teaching trip, Fassil Mesfin MD (Neurosurgeon U of Missouri) and I did at a trauma/spine center in Addis Ababa Ethiopia.
There are opportunities to teach and provide brief surgical/rehab/anesthesia/critical care services in collaboration with the local surgeons/team in the future if your time/schedule allows.
There are a couple of intraop surgical pictures you may want to skip in case you open it with family/non-medical folks
Also check out Dr. Rick Hodes website, https://rickhodes.org/ , many of the spine deformity patients were seen and evaluated in collaboration with Dr. Hodes’ team in Addis.
