Medical Clinic Thursday

































 


What is normally a chaotic day started peacefully today. God laid his hand on Ogosoi and blessed us with time and cool weather for the start of the medical clinic, and soon the chaos ensued...

Dr. Bartha tended to many village people, and healed them. Every one of them was so thrilled, as usual, to have a "Mzungu" (American) doctor. 

The team worked together to count pills, take temperatures and blood pressure, and pass out mosquito nets. All of the patients were then allotted to the different doctors at the clinic. The crowds grew very quickly! At the end of the day, we had to distribute numbers as line-place holders for the clinic tomorrow. About 1100 mosquito nets were handed out.This year we had a dentist for the first time... Many teeth were pulled! 
Overalll it was a very successful day in the village, but in a completely different manner.     
   
We are looking forward to our final day in the village tomorrow. Please pray for our team's energy and courage and a strong ending for such a powerful week.
