The National Children´s Hospital has 325 beds, six operating rooms, an emergency department, neonatal ICU and a host of other facilities. During our visit, the hospital was only at 70% of its capacity. The hospital was spotless and appeared to run extremely efficiently; the electrical technition who gave us our tour claimed that it was the best hospital of Latin America.
As the United States largely designed, funded, and organized the hospital, we were very well accepted. I got a few pictures of some of the highlights for me. For Ned and Steve, I snapped a picture of the ultrasound scanner in use. I wasn´t quite sure how to ask if the transducers were wobblers or phased-array but I think they look like wobblers, clarify? For Dr. Stouffer, a picture of the Cath Lab. Can you believe they let 17 of us into the lab to check it out?

Hey AJ,
Looks like the scanner has some linear arrays, so it probably uses phased arrays, not wobblers to make the image.
nice picts, glad to see you are having some fun as well.
Ned
