Our little Operation

This is Patricia and Patricia. She's a little girl who I got to name in the neighbourhood. We actually took her mother to another hospital as she was bleeding, and shortly after she had a c-section. The baby's father brought her here for us to name, and to show us that she had a sixth finger on each hand. After talking with them, we decided to remove the extra fingers.


Preparing to remove the finger on her left hand.






Today we removed the other finger, which was a little larger than the first. Melinda tied surgical thread around it and then removed it. Baby Patricia tolerated it very well and will be returning tommorrow to get it checked.
