Annie Leaves
February 29th, 2008 Posted in INMEDAnnie, the 4th year med student here, left to go back to the states today. We will miss having her around. This morning Heidi and I went to Hospital Buen Samaritano for her gyn clinic. We saw about 7 patients, 3 of which were post-op patients from hysterectomies that Heidi had done. The others were all pretty routine.
The rest of the day was spent reading, relaxing, and packing for the weekend and upcoming trip to the jungle.
Tomorrow we will head to the Fickers for our regular Saturday and Sunday clinics in Canilla and San Andres. Then early Monday morning we will fly into Zona Reyna (the jungle) for clinic there. Duane will have to make several trips with his Cessna to transport all of us and our supplies. There are no roads that go to this area of the jungle. We will do clinic all day Monday and spend the night and may or may not do clinic again on Tuesday. I will not have any phone or e-mail access during that time, so there won’t be another post until Wednesday or Thursday. On Thursday, Duane will fly me to Guatemala City where I will spend my last night before flying back to the States. I will try to post pictures when I get back to the States.
