Thurs Feb 21: Day 3 of Patients


Today was normal if you ignore the baby that has Robyn's heart in her throat. The kid is covered with scabies. Evacuation tomorrow along with the failure to thrive baby.

This area is a lot more poor than we saw last year. You can tell it in the teeth. No metal repairs to the teeth in anyone it seems ->that is an indirect indication. They can only grow rice (no beans), corn, and yuca and cucumbers here. The mango trees are bare and the cashews are just flowering.

We bathe in a creek and the temp is ideal. Sojna , Jennifer and I have a routine in the pharmacy that is smooth and fast and we do not have to work more than 15 minutes longer than the docs. they are the fastest team I have seen. I am talking Miskito about 25% of the time.
