Medical Team

We survived the weekend! The medical team went very well! We saw over 1200 patients in 2 days.

The people had access to doctors, dentists, chiropractors, nurses and a pharmacy - as well as an opportunity to hear about the best doctor of all...Jesus!

I assisted the dentists on day 2, sterilizing their equipment. A far cry from the KCI office! I even had the "privilege" of assisting one of the dentists. a little girl (maybe 4 years old) had completely rotten and broken teeth in the front. they were bleeding and hurting her...but she was not all that impressed at the thought of having them pulled out. It took a few of us to hold her so the doctor could work. I'm not too brave because I could hold, but I certainly couldn't look! I don't think I'll become a dentist!

Derek had the important job of chief bagger, labeller and counter for all of the medication for the pharmacy...as well as 100 other jobs that needed to be done.

It was really great!
