Today we work in the same location as yesterday. This photo is of staff preparing lunch, and it smells delicious! Today patients come from the villages of Emilio Ponce and Malls. First the local staff performs triage- determines their needs-then sends them to the correct doctor. Each patient receives two papers: one for diagnosis and the other for a prescription. Doctors examine patients with the help of translators. Doctors make notes, give recommendations, and write scripts when necessary. The pharmacy is a room stocked with medications which we brought or which we purchased in Lima. After the examination patients might stay and chat with friends or send their children to lunch.
Love the pictures and great information...sounds like your days are busy...
