Today we break into two groups at the main clinic. Dr Ricardo, Laraine and Angel go to la Familia. Drs Bob and Ann Marie with Lisa, Rebecca, Hope and Angela go to the physical therapy site across the street. We all begin seeing patients immediately. Laraine and Angel take a technical class in administering EKG tests. After each test Laraine takes the patient to see Dr Ricardo for an exam, evaluation (and prescription when necessary). Across the street the team sees patients for general medicine, pediatrics and physical therapy. The PTs use the colorful room pictured in photos of our initial clinic tour (photo of a little boy reaching for a ball). Outside the cardiology procedure room a woman receives oxygen and a doctor sutures a lacerated toe. The cardiology team sees a heart murmur patient who was diagnosed at age 10. She is monitored periodically and today Dr Ricardo lets her know
that the murmur can get worse when she gets pregnant. So, continue to keep an eye on it.
