Clinic in Chutzurob

Manuel, Cesi and I made our way to Chutzurob.  We had a good drive, without any problems in the road.  With the highway still closed, getting to Santa Cruz is a problem but this side of Chichi is ok.

We had 14 medical patients and Manuel had 4 dental cleaning.

We had a wide variety of patients. 

One situation that was very sad was a young baby, infected with scabies. When I asked the mother if anyone else in the family had it, she said yes.  There were 10 people in the family that had it.  One of the other children were with her but she did not want a consult for that child.  I explained that if we did not treat everyone with the medicine, it would not help. She finally agreed but was not excited about having to wash all of their clothing, towels and sheets in very hot water with soap.  It is a very hard process for the mothers. I hope that she will return next month because the children are very sick. 

Tomorrow, we will head to Chicua for clinic.  I hope that we have several patients!
