Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime. Every mission has a tension between sharing experience and operating time with the local doctors and doing as many cases as we can while we are in town. Teaching is a vital part of our mission in Egypt, with the medical students in Mansoura and the registrars and junior lecturers very interested in observing and participating in the surgery. Here, Dr. Jihan Mohasseb (at the head of the table) talks one of the Ain Shams plastic surgery residents through the closure on a lip repair.
In the recovery room, the patient's mother is very happy with her son's new lip. And check out the embroidery on her sleeve!
