Yesterday was Bittersweet, as I discharged my favourite patient from the MSF facility in Bangladesh where I have been working. She is 8 years old, and in many ways, she is one of the lucky ones. Having managed to escape Myanmar with her whole family, everyone made it across the border into Bangladesh and into safety. However, she is also one of the unlucky ones as she contracted diphtheria. I first met her one mid-afternoon on a day shift in the hospital. She had the typical presentation; a few days history of sore throat and fever with some difficulty swallowing.
