First Lao PediatricianThe First Lao Pediatrician at home with his loyal dogs.
2022-08 Finally, we returned to the Lao PDR after being away for 30 months due to covid. We visited with colleagues, neighbors, friends, scholarship students, and graduates living in Vientiane. There was not enough time to return to our village in the north. Our first visit to the Lao PDR was in 1998, and we moved there in 2002, twenty years ago. Now the senior pediatricians Leila volunteered with are retiring, and other doctors we knew as children are assuming responsibilities.
