So Arturo says...........Today Aaron and I went to Choacaman IV with Sheri, Juan and Gaspar. We carried all of our boxes for clinic up a hill to the house of Enrique and Martin, brothers of the local Church.
My first patient was a young boy Mayro. He had cut off part of his thumb three months ago with a machete and how there is a large necrotic area on the end. Despite his injury, he seemed very happy and didn't complain at all.
After treating the patients, Aaron and I learned about the lungs and the heart and where to listen for problems in these areas. Through the process of seeing patients of the past three days, I have learned a lot about taking vital signs and common illnesses here in Guatemala.
