EMERGENCY SURGERIES Here are some pictures of surgeries done by Lama Shenphen in the Sera-Jhe's dispensary during the three humanitarian missions in 1990-1992-1994. "I am not and I never considered myself a surgeon or a qualified doctor. I've studied what could help me to help others or even to save life, from a private faculty aiming mostly at third-world countries, from books and during several trainings in hospital. I've answered some needs, according to my qualifications and the events. In the circumstance I found myself, it is 'if you know how to do, do it'; I've done what I could. My wish? To continue to participate in humanitarian mission a few months every year; whichever the country." | | Thigh abscess; inner side General anaesthesia (Ketamine IM). Cleaning. Closing with drainage.
