Medical Students at Work

One of the first patients we met in Angola, was an 11 year old boy suffering from hydrocephalis. 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.

 

In this shot, the medical students and the scrub nurse monitor the little boy, while Dr. Foster checks on the status of the next patient.
