Greg had an opportunity to spend two weeks in the Ukraine on an assignment with the Army. He worked with the state department on a Humanitarian mission. They donated multi-million dollars worth of medical equipment to various hospitals in the Ukraine. Greg's responsibility was to train the local doctors on how to use the anesthesia machines. They visited a total of 5 hospital during that time period.
Greg learned 6 Russian words, enjoyed lots of Borsch and brought home fun souvenirs for me and the kids. He favorite part of the trip was getting to know the anesthesiologists. He also enjoyed seeing how the hospitals operate differently from ours in the states.
