Community Medical Clinic--Day 1

Well, we did it! First day of clinic ran quite smoothly, especially when we found our rhythm in the afternoon. We saw 120 patients today, between 7:30 am and 6 pm. Only a few cases were intriguing, as most were routine chronic and common illnesses. I will share photos and impressions as the week goes on. I thoroughly enjoyed my place on this team as a "nurse". Sylvia, my volunteer Kenyan interpreter, was awesome. She has quite a story of her own--age 59 in two weeks, 6 grown kids, two living in the US, 5 grandkids, an elder in her PCEA church, retired special ed teacher, two kids in Biomedicine here in Nairobi...

I'm tired! Must sleep now. Tomorrow is coming soon...fun, fun, fun!
