The patient I referred to in the previous post was in bad shape. I later learned that she was unable to deliver the baby's placenta 3 days before. Her body was already experiencing toxic shock and she looked almost dead to me. Without the airplane bringing her to a hospital in PalangkaRaya, her chances of survival were almost nil. It's a pleasure to be able to be here and help those that live a VERY tough life and are daily confronted by challenges that we as Westerners see as almost routine...like childbirth.
