Like many other people, Pat Wittmann of Hilbert likes to travel during her summer vacation. Unlike them, she doesn't sightsee or relax at the beach. Instead, she works as an operating room technician just as she does every day at Calumet Medical Center in Chilton. The only difference is she does it at an 800-bed hospital in East Africa.
Wittmann, a member of St. Mary Parish, Hilbert, accompanied Dr. Joseph Pilon, an orthopedic surgeon from Sherwood, on a six-week trip to Bugando Medical Center in Mwanza, Tanzania.
While there, she organized the operating room where Dr. Pilon, a member of St. John-Sacred Heart Parish, Sherwood, performed more than 100 surgeries.
Wittman has made a dozen trips with Dr. Pilon - about half to Africa and the rest to the Amazon region in Brazil. Full story ...
