Wednesday we packed up again and headed to Santa Rosa, a community not far from our clinic in Wichanzao. We set up tents outside. A tent for triage, a tent for each doctor, and a tent for a nutritionist and pharmacy. We saw patients from 9am-1pm and treated around 90 patients again. We had such a great turnout, we had to give vouchers for free visits to our clinic to those we could not see.Lora translated again for Dr. Huffman for the day. We saw many women and children and some very sick elderly. We treated a very sick elderly woman with a heart condition and dangerously high blood pressure who cannot work and has no family in the area. What a blessing to be able to give her medication that she desperately needs, which she would not be able to afford otherwise, and encourage her to keep on! We treated lots of asthma, allergies, and a virus that many people had been suffering from all week. A great turnout and everyone went home happy.
