Leon, Nicaragua, June 24, 2015
Wednesday:
On the way back from the Beach--it's only 7:15pm and it
feels like midnight because it is dark and Nuria is
exhausted --some didn't make it to the beach.
The day started more typically. We had several patients waiting at 8am, no one was missing giving a talk, and we had nurses, a general physician and OB/GYN resident trainees. There were three women needing LEEP and five or six cryo's. Perhaps forty patients total. Dr. Ilana Addis Medical Director, was running around checking all abnormal exams. We got enough behind because the LEEP room was used for LEEP that we came up with a fifth exam area in the air conditioned room.
Our goal was clear: teach, help people, and be ready for the beach by 4pm. A few stayed behind, too exhausted to go.
So after seeing several adorable dogs, a beached puffer fish, and amazing waves of warm water and eating great seafood, we are heading back to León. The bus too noisy with chatting for anyone to answer the question: What do you want the blog to say?
