I am getting ready to leave for another trip to JFK Hospital in Monrovia. This time I am accompanied by Dr. Ly Heng, a plastic/reconstructive surgeon as well as orthopedic surgeon from Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I met Ly 5 years ago when I visited one of the hospitals where he works. In the course of our conversation about some of the trauma patients he was caring for, I learned that he did not have a pair of surgical loupes because they were too expensive. The result was the formation of Loupes Around The World, our charitable foundation which has now provided over 180 pair of loupes to surgeons in 42 different countries !
This morning we will drive to White Plains (NY) airport where we will meet up with Adamah (Dr. James Sirleaf). We will fly to Atlanta, and this evening we catch the Delta flight to Accra (Ghana) and then on to Monrovia. We should arrive in Monrovia mid-afternoon on Sunday.
