First Day


So again, I am sure that if I wasn't volunteering I would be fired... I see about eight patients this morning in the outpatient clinic. A myriad of problems from asthma, hernias, back pain, knee pain, muscle pain and diarrhea. My Spanish is pretty rough and as my pride dictates I decline a translator (I figure it forces me to remember quicker). When I ask "me entiende", or "do you understand", the patients smile and say "si", but their body language leads me to believe they are just being kind.


This is a picture of the hospital loma de luz.
