Ready to Begin
One of the first patients we met in Angola, was an 11 year old boy suffering from hydrocephalus. His neurological functions were degrading quickly, so Dr. Foster decided it was necessary to implant a shunt in the boy's skull to relieve the intracranial pressure.
Here, the crew in the operating room is ready to begin the surgery. Everyone watches intently as Dr. Foster makes the initial incision around the boy's ear.
