Madagascar Trip - 11/20/2012
It was great! I trained a number of ophthalmologists there in plastics--particularly ptosis. Did a lot of surgeries with them. The local docs were great and overly accommodating. Hotel was nice, food good--a lot of French influence. Saw some lemurs as well.
I spoke at a national meeting. They need more training. They do a lot of cataract (small incision extra cap). They have 2 phacos machines in the country, but seldom used because they need someone to train them so they feel comfortable. They want a cornea, peds, and retina doc to come. They cannot repair a retinal detachment--you're out of luck unless you fly out of the country (if you have the money). They also want someone to teach them phaco. I plan to go back next year.

Hello, fellow-Loyolans!
How is Loyola? I'm sure everyone is doing fantastic. Well I'm finally done with my fellowship at UC Irvine. I just want to inform you guys on what we (Jessie - my wife and I) are doing in Southern California.
My wife is now the head designer at the Three Dots, Inc., in Garden Grove, CA. She is very busy and successful! I'm so happy for her. Check out her company site.
I have joined the Terry Eye Institute in Fullerton, CA, as the cornea and refractive surgery specialist. The address is 270 Laguna Road, Suite 100, Fullerton, CA 92835. I'm very excited about this opportunity. The plan is to become a partner next year. Also, I am an assistant clinical professor at the University of California, Irvine and a cornea consultant at Long Beach VA Medical Center. I love teaching, so I will be involved with the academics as a volunteer faculty at UC Irvine.
I hope to see you guys soon. ASCRS meeting will be in Chicago next year. I will try to stop by Loyola during that time. My wife and I miss you guys. Take care!
Thanks!
