Why I love my job - Quote 3 of 10

“La la…la la..…la la la la…….la la.”

This quotation is attributable to an 18 month-old patient, named Khayalethu, on her way down the COE hallway to my exam room today.

She was started on treatment for extrapulmonary TB in February, 2006, initiated on ARVs in June, 2006, and singing on this 3rd day of April, 2007.

She sings for good reason…her TB is cured and her CD4 count has nearly tripled.
