April 2014: "The Georges in Peru"

Well, it didn't go without complications, but I did get the bladders stones removed on Tuesday April 8th and am recovering well here in Lima.  I'll go home to Arequipa tomorrow morning.  Thanks for your prayers!

Last Thursday I did an ultrasound on a 46 y/o patient who had spent most of the night with fever and chills and was having difficulty urinating.  I saw a 2-cm stone in his bladder and when the patient moved it would sink to the lowest part of his bladder.  "You need to get that taken out!" I said to myself, who happened to be the patient.
