Clinic in Lemoa

Today we had clinic in Lemoa at Clinica Caris. We had 35 patients with 10 of those returning for their pap results. It was encouraging because none of the results were significantly negative. Lisa consulted with all of those ladies, had a young man with a tonsil abscess and another with a venous stasis ulcer on his lower leg.

Today we had one lady that will be worked up for a hysterectomy and also a little guy that will be worked up for a hernia. So if all goes well, we will have at least two patients in the October clinic in Montellano.

One young lady has been coming to the clinic for three months because she is a diabetic. I have been changing her medicines but more importantly discussing changes in her diet. When she first started having her blood sugar checked it was 330 but today it was 119. It was obvious that she felt much better and will return in a month to have her blood sugar checked again.

Of course every mother thinks her baby is the cutest.......but this baby won the "cute award" for the day. She was precious!

Gaspar told me today that the mudslide from yesterday has been removed and I know the people who live in that area are happy with that.

Thanks for reading and checking in. I appreciate your comments and will keep you posted.......
