Eye Patient #1000


Eye Patient #1000
Originally uploaded by keithrbrinkman.
Dr. Neil Murray is performing eye surgery on this patient - Adulai Shitu - he was our 1,000 patient for our time here in Ghana.
I was able to watch Dr. Neil do surgery on a woman named Mercy and she is 100 years old. He explained the procedure to me as I was viewing in the additional microscope. She was blinded by shingles in one eye and cataract in the other and so she was provided with sight once again with the cataract being removed.
