Well yesterday was a lovely quiet day! We got up and rounded on our patients and then really didn't have much to do. Went through all the supply boxes and donated things and made some sense of them and tried to clean up the clinic room a bit. Pat went "shopping" in my bag full of anesthetic supplies and was very grateful to OMH for all the recently expired goodies (ET tubes, LMAs, epidural supplies, etc)! I think perhaps I am going to start a similar "give away" box in L&D and OOB for missions because that system obviously is working great in the OR.
Got to then get some lunch and spend a little time in the market here in Chichi and then actually went back to the apt, packed up, and got a little nap in! NIce treat! Skyped with my handsome fiance for a bit then headed back to Buen Samaritano and watched Dr Hoak taken care of a walled off appy. Finished my day with a meal with 3 friends of Heidi's, Roy, Kathleen, and Jim, who I thoroughly enjoyed, and one more short talk with my honey before bed! We will discharge the last of our surgical patients today and catch a microbus to Quiche where Dwayne will pick us up in the Cessna and head to Canilla... yay!! We will get to spend some time with the Fickers and help them our tomorrow with one of their clinics, then it will be back home of Saturday!
Another great trip here, but there is always more to do, and more needed. Buen Samaritanos US machine, for example, was stolen recently... big old machine taken from behind locked doors... They are using and old borrowed Sonocyte now that really just doesn't cut it... anyone have an old machine they'd like to get rid of? If it is in working, or near working condition, it could certainly be used here... I'll be glad to help you get it here... just for starters, lets pray for a replacement for them, shall we? :-)
OK, off to start my day, hope everyone at home is doing great... see you all soon!
Chris
