Pictures from Liberia

I thought that I would post some pictures as I will be leaving tomorrow for Tapeta (the change is changed).  In disaster response, it is always good to be flexible in your planning.  I am getting to practice my flexibility today.  Since the internet in Tapeta is much slower and less robust than it is in our offices in Monrovia, I thought I would take this opportunity to post some pictures. This is a picture of the MoD1 ETU.  It is fairly typical with lots of tents and a fairly standardized pattern of organization.

This is the classroom in the ETU during a break.  It was pretty warm but the instructors said that it was good practice for being in PPE.  

This is a picture of me donning PPE during the training.

This is the handbook we use as a clinical referance.

This is the 'memory tree' from MoD1.  On it, there are colored ribbons for each survivor and a black ribbon for those that didn't survive.

This is the survivors board from the MMU ETU in Monrovia.  This is the ETU set up by the US Public Health Service exclusively for health care providers (of any nationality) who become infected.

More on Monday after my 10 hour drive to Tapeta tomorrow.
