Triage

Not once did we hear a child cry from Julio's dental work

The Sisters brought us Communion every morning

The Eucharist, it does a soul good!

Sr. Carmen brings a new walker to a patient

The new walker is woefully inadequate to battle the hill between our clinic and her home. Someone called her a cab.

Seeing patients

The reading glasses were a huge hit and vital to the quality of life

Another street scene

Folks thought med and supply organization would take just a couple of hours. It was a most-of-the-day affair.

Ultrasound in the field! What a blessing to have definitive diagnoses rather than best guesses!

Blood sugar was too high for our machine to read it. We gave her what we had: IV Fluids, Tums (calcium) and Solambutrol (instead of Albuterol inhaler). BG was 600 before sending her to a 1-room clinic

One picture of the pharmacy does not do it justice!

The view behind a barren hillside in Pucusana

Same hill, different view

Camelot's mom made 150 eyeglass covers that were given away. Thank you!
