Outside the Gates of King Faisal HospitalA study in contrasts. Africa does not always know what to do with us. Yesterday an older man with one half of a hand missing - (machete?) was put off of a bus by the police to make room for me. There is graciousness everywhere you turn and then suddenly you feel uncomfortable. At times you know you are being made fun of- (Hey, we're here to help!). We asked our good friend Eddie tonight what he thought of us in general and he said, "You know, you can tell from the start when you meeet someone that you will be able to be with them or not, I can be with you". Some things are universal; fear of the unknown, insecurity, hope, need for acceptance, doctor's stealing nurse's pens, women trying to balance work and home life, certain ringtones. Pay attention.
