vimos mas o menos 40 pacientes - y tuvieron todos los problemas... muchos problemas infeciosas, muchos problemas de piel, muchos problems de musculos...
the first patient i saw was so sad... ella fue golepeado en su cabeza, de su esposo, y tuvo un cornea deslocado, y probablemente un hematoma subdural cronica :( ella vino de su casa de fue un viaje de 1 dia y media! y vino con su hija y su madre! her mom only spoke quetchua, but she spoke spanish as a second language and her daughter spoke almost perfect spanish!
Her daughter had what we thought was possibly sporiasis, and her mom had osteoarthritis. In the end we referred her to a nearby hospital to get a CT and see a neurologist and an opthomologist. I felt so useless. :( we also referred her to a domestic violence group, pero no estoy tan segura como esto va a salir...
Patients started coming almost as soon as we walked in, even though they told us they wouldn't until noon! we had about 5 mintues to set up - eep! but we did it and in the end our system tunred out to be pretty effiicient and we got into a good flow by the end.
Maureen was doing glasses, which was so amazing! She even fit a pair for Mario, the go to man of the clinic :)
The last patient was rache's and she had a huge ulcerated sore on her lip... since the lab closes at 3 and we go til 4 we were unable to run any tests for her and i think they ended up telling her to return tomorrow...
Satoko lost part of her opthalascope ... pero pienso que en total fue un buen dia primero :)
