Be Sensitive and Make It Interesting


Can you blog with others in mind? It seems a mostly self-conscious act. But there are bits of patronizing opinion that might hurt others.These thoughts coupled with trying to keep it interesting(again with others in mind ie you the reader)has paralyzed my hunt and peck keyboarding for a few weeks.

I find life most rewarding when change is happening. Wouldn't everyone want a system to change that suffers from high child and maternal mortality? As an outsider in this setting, I cannot lead progressive change because it risks dependency and unsustainability. I am hoping change can be catalyzed. Because that is the role that I believe is most appropriate. Ideally the process won't require the continuous presence of the catalyst to perpetuate. This I don't know...

Most exciting for me is the recent decision by the director of the hospital to move the casualty department into the department of surgery. He has created an Accident and Emergency Committee chaired by an orthopedic surgeon(mentioned in a previous post)to lead the transformation of casualty to an A& E department. So Presbyterian of me to get all excited about a committee being formed.

Tropical diseases and abject poverty provide great fodder for interesting stories. What makes it interesting? Certainly a good storyteller helps. I don't have any stories today.
