First Day in Mbarara

Garrigan finally arrives in Mbarara, the town where he will be stationed as a doctor. At first he has trouble finding Dr Merrit and his wife, but eventually he does find them and they offer to let him stay with them for the night. The next day is the first day of Nicholas's actually job, he spends the day with Merrit touring the fcilities and getting acquainted with the procedures. He notices that the diseases here are much different than he is used to, and, the technologie and availability of certain medicines are not as good, he can tell from the first day that practicing here will be a challenge.
