This morning I started at 8am. I had 48 new and follow-up patients to see, and the clinical staff saw 54 new patients this morning.
By 4pm I left the operating theatre after performing 27 cataract operations. It’s possible to do one eye in about seven minutes, but where a patient has bilateral cataracts, we’d only do one eye, and then operate on the other at a later date.
This evening I’ve been compiling our 6 month clinical statistics, and sorting our research projects, with no electricity for 3 hours. Fortunately I was still able to listen to music courtesy of a 12v car battery!
