New clinic in San Jose

We had a great new clinic today in San Jose.........and before you ask......no, we did not know the way to San Jose. We had to ask directions :)

We met Felipe on the main road and he led us to his house where we held clinic. We had 34 medical patients with a variety of illnesses. Josefina is cleaning the table getting us ready for the consults.

Who is that masked man?? That is Tomas with his first of four patients. When he was done he told me that he wanted four more. He and Gaspar are really enthusiastic about their dental cleaning and that is good.

I am not sure why unless it was because it was our first time here but the patients were not very interested in having photos taken. They saw me with the camera and seemed very shy so I did not approach them. Maybe the next time we are here they will be more comfortable.

Tomorrow is the clinic with the rhumatoidologist. He and Manuel will arrive from the coast early in the morning. I just recieved a call from Lisa and they are home now. Kemmel's dad continues to do well after surgery and we are very thankful for that. Tomorrow some of us head to Chuguexa for clinic. Hopefully, we will have a good clinic there and then check out the action at Clinica Caris.
