Every week, along with seeing patients in the clinic, we visit different pueblos surrounding Palacios. Last week, we saw over 300 patients and it was a good week to be busy because there was an amazing infectious disease doctor, a renal doctor, and a general medicine doctor with us. It's cool because I'm starting to recognize patients that we've treated and starting to build relationships them. This week we saw patients with scarlet fever, leishmaniasis, chagas, fungal infections, staph infections, and lots of parasites. Oh, and how could I forget...today we saw a lady with more than 100 larvae living in her ear. I'll show you pictures when I get home but will spare those who'd rather not see :-) It's crazy how much we take health care for granted in the US. We just got back from the clinic and I'm pretty tired, but God is good. Holla.
