Guatemala October 2024: Day 4 of Clinic

10/25/2024

 
Day 4 of clinics was a wet one but that did not stop us.  We went to Creek Zarco to see 155 people. We gave a donated wheelchair to a very grateful 93-year man.  We hardly got his feet on the pedals, and he was wheeling away.  We saw more patients with hypertension at this village, likely due to easier access to North American style food.  We also had a young Guatemalan doctor in training who came to work as a translator and get some hands-on experience.  Our NP Helen spent the day mentoring her.  It was a great day!
