This is our second week of surgery. We are getting to know our routines & staffs.
2 successful surgeries were done. We continue giving education to the staffs.
In the morning, we have a meeting with Viet Duc staffs to share our suggestions & recommendations. They seem to be very welcome & receptive to our recommendations.
Dr. Aubyn was asked to assist with one unexpected emergent surgery & due to much complications, patient did not make it. One success case was performed. We found a leak on Kien's valve and proposed redo, Kien was very brave. We will perform his surgery tomorrow. Nguyen Vu is leaving today, he is a very valuable core team in ICU. Saying goodbye is not always easy.
