We started the morning with a short devotional. Juan led some songs and Manuel read scripture concerning the Good Samaritan. Kemmel talked for a few minutes about Health Talents and it's mission. It was a good review for everyone and to help us remember our objectives. The physical aspect is only part of the work. We want to focus also on the spiritual, social and mental components of the patient.
Lisa broke the group up into 4 smaller groups and they practiced taking temperatures, blood pressures, pulses and counting respirations.
Gaspar helped his group by donating his blood pressure.
Kemmel is making sure everyone has the equipment that they need.
It took a while for them to see the mercury in the thermometers......just a small challenge.Maury seems to be doubting herself :)
Lisa is teaching the guys that they have to clean and shake down the thermometer between patients.
Josefina helping Juan as he is leading his group.
Tomorrow, we will start a new clinic in Mactzul III. Kemmel, Maury, Juan and Gaspar and I will be there for the day. The truck is packed and ready to go...................
