Thelma, we'll call her. Dark-skinned beauty she was! Talking and laughing with a relative seated next to her. She couldn't have been more than fifteen years of age. Eyes so huge and white and so full of life I could not help but wonder what she was doing on the paediatric ward of the hospital I work in...
"Dr. Ohanusi please set Thelma's IV line. The one I did yesterday has tissued." My colleague bellowed from the other end of the ward.
I looked through her case note to be sure that was all I needed to do for her at the moment, and then I saw it. A list of her routine medications. Zidovudine! Lamivudine! Nevirapine!
