So, turns out that camping in the rainforest with pneumonia is a bad idea. Not that I can say from experience, but that was somehow my plan eight hours ago.
What seemed to be a persistent Saturday flu turned out to be something much uglier, and Sunday I started intravenous antibiotics at the Chinese Clinic (actual name) down the street from my partner NGO. The highlight of the Chinese Clinic: in addition to the FDA-approved fare, traditional Chinese herb concoctions abound. A personal favorite is the urine-colored serum that miraculously makes coughing go away.
Even after three days of treatment, Dr. Yula was not exactly impressed with my plan to get back to work up-country. I am officially restricted to the capital until at least Thursday. *Sigh* Six of my fourteen precious days of field work wasted…

Also, would you comment on Anthony Daniels on Liberia?

Hate it when that happens. Any way you could get the data/subjects to come to you?

… Somehow I think you’ll manage to stay productive. ;-)
So sorry to hear it, Chris. Get well soon.
Get well soon, Chris. Take care of yourself.
