Thank you everyone for the feedback. Yes, I do have a sequel in mind but I don't know when I'm going to start it.
Morgana,
You're probably right. My only argument is - this is Lois. I can't see her waiting around in the Congo once she was properly stitched up and on antibiotics. Also, the folks at the hospital probably didn't want to deal with the "crazy American lady" any longer than they absolutely had to.
