Jan 26
Today was a full day. We had eggs and pancakes and fruit for breakfast. A small surgical team went to the hospital today. They had a full day and did eight surgical cases including two cases from the ER. They worked late and didn’t get back to the guest house until almost 8 pm.
The rest of us went to a village an hour or two away. We set up our clinic in a church building. We saw over 800 patients! Many were families with several kids. Most had simple complaints like headache, backache, cold symptoms and parasites. We gave out lots and lots of medications and were done by 3 or 4. The building was hot – 96 and 106 at the ceiling!
We tried to stop at a souvenir shop on the way back to our guest house, but they had just closed. We did stop at a local restaurant and had cold beverages and a few appetizers. We had chicken, beans and rice, potato salad, cole slaw and fruit for dinner with ice cream for dessert. We sat and talked and laughed for quite a while. Some of our group is leaving early tomorrow morning; it was a little hard to say good bye to some old and new friends.
