Over three weeks away from my family on rural rotation, the longest we’ve ever been apart as a couple, I couldn’t bear it any longer. So I packed myself in the back of a crowded jeep, braving rough roads and the unforgiving rainy season, just for a chance to be with them for three short days.
It’s risky, uncomfortable, and exhausting, but family always comes first.

Season Greetings, y'all.

SIGMOID VOLVULUS – Untwisting the Pain ❤️

Today, we managed a case of sigmoid volvulus – a twisted loop of bowel causing severe abdominal pain and obstruction. This patient was lucky to meet us on time. With prompt intervention, we were able to relieve the obstruction without the need for resection or a colostomy.

Just this month, we weren’t so lucky with another case. We had to resect the bowel and leave a colostomy – a difficult outcome that now demands months of enduring care and significant lifestyle adjustments for the patient, until it's finally reversed.

Timely surgical care doesn’t just save lives – it spares patients from long-term suffering and economic hardship. In this rural setting, every minute, every decision, and every incision truly counts.

The abdomen is a wonder box – it holds life, mystery, and sometimes urgent danger. But with skill, compassion, and the scalpel, God is leading us to become a blessing to those in need.

Grateful for the chance to serve and learn.

As surgeons, wounds are part of our everyday reality - whether created in the operating room or received in emergencies. Regardless of their cause, our approach to wound management profoundly shapes our patients’ recovery and quality of life.

Today, I had the privilege to present a seminar on the Physiology of Wound Healing and Its Complications under the Department of Surgery at the great Jackson F. Doe Memorial Regional Referral Hospital. Together with colleagues, interns, and our respected consultant, Dr. Asaye, we reflected on how wound care has evolved from ancient times to modern surgical science.

It was an enriching session filled with insightful discussions, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a cerebral learning environment. There is always more to learn, and every bit of knowledge gained sharpens our ability to serve patients better.

The place in the hospital where more lives are saved, suffering ends instantly, and health is restored — the Operating Theater — that’s where we’re meant to be.

Beyond the red line, there’s no idle talk, no aimless wandering, no delay. Only focus. Only solutions. Only GOD!

Here I stand, stepping into a new theater, the great hall of the JFD Regional Referral Hospital, to make my mark, carve a new story, and to learn.

This is the calling. This is the craft. This is the beginning.

Well done, Dr. Benetta Collins Andrews.
We will always remember you for the bold and positive steps you took in uncovering and weeding out over a decade-long fraud in our health system, as well as identifying numerous quack doctors and illegal health facilities.

Your firm stance on educational institutions offering health education was particularly commendable. Under your leadership, the Liberia Medical and Dental Council - LMDC regained its legal authority to accredit health institutions, those already approved by the National Commission on Higher Education and to to issue licenses.

The rise of NGOs and "Boards" with mere articles of incorporation demanding that schools seek their accreditation and issuing licenses had become a troubling trend. Your advocacy to restore LMDC's statutory mandate was a crucial and timely intervention that placed our healthcare regulation back on track.

Your leadership will be remembered for much, Dr. Andrews. And to crown your efforts, your successor, Dr. Ayun K. Cassell III, is a high achiever, a principled man, and a proven leader. I am confident the torch has been passed into capable hands, and even greater things are on the horizon.

Congratulations, Dr. Cassell, my astute Consultant.

Thank you all for the warm welcome and kind wishes. We’ve hit the ground running.

My first case here is a man with over 10 years of a left inguinoscrotal hernia. It has eventually become complicated and is now presenting as a perforated, strangulated left inguinoscrotal hernia with a scrotal enterocutaneous fistula. Imagine the pain and agony this man has endured over the years.

Access to timely surgical care is life-changing. If you or someone you know has a hernia or any other surgical concern, please don’t wait. Visit the nearest health center and get surgical attention early before complications arise.

The Marathon for Knowledge Continues...

I’m humbled to share that I’ll be stepping away from JFK Medical Center for the next three months as I continue my training at Jackson F. Doe Regional Referral Hospital in Tappita.

This transition is bittersweet. I’ll deeply miss the department, our intense morning meetings, the ever-ready call team, and the vibrant learning atmosphere that defines JFK Surgical Department. Leaving wasn’t easy. My wife’s eyes said it all, and I couldn’t help but think of our son. But this is the life we’ve chosen, a life of service, sacrifice, and relentless pursuit of surgical excellence.

We move forward, praying for strength to carry the knowledge, skills, and attitude this calling demands.

Please keep us in your prayers.

Investing in Liberia’s Future: Our Commitment to Medical Training

We wholeheartedly commend the National Commission on Higher Education (NCHE) for its firm stance in promoting quality tertiary education in Liberia.

The recent decision to shut down illegal institutions and suspend licenses is a bold and commendable move in the right direction. Institutions must have the capacity to deliver the education they claim to offer. Liberia deserves better and the future of our nation depends on the quality of men and women we are educating today.

This is why my wife and I are fully committed to advancing health education, our field of expertise. Both of us are Liberian medical doctors currently specializing: my wife in Pediatrics and I in General Surgery. We believe that quality medical education is essential to Liberia’s progress.

In that spirit, we established Giddings College, a not-for-profit academic institution located in Kakata. We are proud to be the only institution in the region offering an Associate Degree in Physician Assistant, and we are now expanding to include Surgical Technology and Medical Laboratory Technology.

Our faculty is rich with medical doctors, veteran physician assistants, certified medical laboratory technologists, and experienced medical educators, all committed to delivering world-class health training with a local touch.

Our programs emphasize hands-on clinical training, supported by strong partnerships with regional hospitals.

We are also very proud to announce a major partnership with the Global Medical Libraries (GML) of the United States of America, through which we are acquiring a wide range of high-quality medical textbooks. This partnership will make possible the first dedicated medical library in Kakata, a resource not only for our students but for the entire Kakata community and surrounding areas.

Registration for our upcoming semester is ongoing, take advantage of this opportunity.

Prepare to serve. Prepare to lead. Prepare to heal. Join the Giddings College family.
