For some reason, these uploaded in relatively random order, but here goes!
Adele helping a patient to put her socks on-- we buy these slipper socks and bring them down with us for several reasons (to help protect and pad patient's feet in the OR, as a nice gift for them from us, and-- importantly-- to help us during the surgery with the patients whose feet sometimes smell a little bad ;-))
Adele giving a gift bag to a patient-- we fill these with toothbrushes and toothpaste, combs, chapstick, and other things we hope the patients will enjoy having to help with their post-op recovery and hopefully make them feel cared for a little more than usual.
Our exam table in the clinic! Complete with a sheet that needs to be straightened here... You can also "appreciate" our elegant speculum system-- clean ones on the left, dirty ones on the right in the red bucket for washing and bleaching later! Oh, the glamorous life we lead, right?
Heidi offering the different sock colors to the patient to choose from...
Adele and Chris goofing off in clinic~ a rare moment, let me tell you!
Chris in front of the street with market going on in Chichicastenango.
Heidi and Adele operating! (Also known as, "Chris totally busting Heidi for stealing a surgical step from Adele"!) Yep-- busted. But I PROMISE I gave it back to her as soon as we got those stinking' high uterosacrals identified!
Heidi's turn to touch feet! Putting socks on our second patient from the day.
Dr. Iris Gamez, our awesome anesthesiologist, likely answering a text from someone else wanting her services...
Half of our nursing staff! On their morning rounds...
The anesthesia machine in the OR, with Iris's tackle box of meds and supplies with it.
Chris busting me taking photos of our OR schedule which is taped to the OR door, so that I can remember what cases we are doing (and maybe also which cases we DID when we go to do morning rounds!)
The available sutures in the OR...
Chris and I playing tourists in Guatemala City on Saturday~
Our ultrasound machine is not bad at all, but it's not exactly great, either...
