I have been working with some of the most dedicated, professional and caring nurses and medics. When a patient with cholera comes in to the hospital their chances of survival immediately increase by 20%. Those who walk in are taken to the ward. Those who are stretchered in are already near death. The most skilled nurses in the facility get 2 intravenous lines up and pour in up to 6 litres of fluids. From being virtually dead they sit up and talk and are taken to the ward next door where they recover over 2 days.
We have been working 13½ hour days in 370 Centrigrade. The hospital (Birsy) is a collection of 8 large tents connected by plyboard walkways elevated on brieze blocks. It is staffed by a total of about 30, a mixture of ex-pat doctors & nurses, local doctors & nurses, translators and orderlies.

I think this website is absolutely fantastic.
Well done Trevor.
As the oldest grandchild, I wonder if anyone would be interested in trying to arrange a family get together? Drinks party at Boodles?
I would be happy to organise it.
Love to all
Jonathan

We called it 'serial resurrection', so much the same thing. Dr Trev

Many thanks for sending us all this. We are proud of you. Is the treatment you describe called the Lazarus treatment?
All love Mum
