Haiti day 2!

Today was the first day of clinic! 90 patients seen and treated by 15 ish therapists. Not too shabby! We also rolled out a new electronic documenting system today. Myself and 3 other therapists were the guinea pigs. Seems to work well so far. Between starting EPic this year and this new computer system I will be a tech savie documenting genius by the end of my time in Haiti. .... maybe😜
All of my patients I saw today had ortho related pain so it was a quick brush up on needling, cupping and manipulating backs, knees and hips. I was hoping to see some gnarly wounds , but alas none came in today. Maybe tomorrow. Three kiddos came by at the end of the day who had some scrapes I got to clean sand and bugs out of. So I guess I did technically get to see some wounds. There are a bunch of wound PTs on this trip. I am excited to see how they treat wounds and learn from them. I know I say this every trip, but it really is amazing to be with 15 others PTs with varying specialties. I learn so so much and it really helps me back at home with my SCI pts.
Tonight we had pizza for dinner with a Haitian twist. I brought a whole lot of snacks, but I am trying to just eat Haitian food. For those of you who know me well , know that this is a feat as I am worlds most picky eater and pretty much stick to feta and pasta. Anyway, the pizza was spicy but delish. It came with a side of goat and picklies which is super spicy cold slaw. The pickies are not for me, but the goat was good. 
After dinner we all just hung out and watched the sunset while drinking beer ( I have my special juice wine) and now I am doIng off while watching heat lighting. 
Til tomorrow!

Day 3

First day of clinic! What a day. Controlled chaos with over 130 patients seen by 30 PTs in a 6-7 hour period. To give you a better picture of the clinic I have attached a picture at the bottom of it before the patients came in. It is about 800 square feet with 14 beds. There are 30 therapists, 30 interpreters  and more than 30 patients and heir family members milling around the clinic at any given time.... all these people while we are doing gait training, family training for transfers , bracing trials and orthopedic interventions. That is what I mean by controlled chaos. Although I am constantly bumping into people and saying" excuse me" I would not have it any other way. If I have a moment of down time I look to the therapist next to me and 100 percent of the time they are performing an intervention I have not seen before. I look two feet beyond that therapist and see another therapist teaching a PT how to do walk using techniques I had read about but never seen. All the bo

Weekend days 7 and 8

This weekend was a nice relaxing weekend. After the week 1 crew left the people who were staying two weeks headed over to Tortuga for some relaxing weekend fun. We took a speed boat over ( super fast!) and then zipped up to the top of the mountains in a tap tap. We unpacked all our stuff and then went on a hike. The hike was really cool. We walked down to some caves and saw all kinds of cool formations and then we walked around the island. It was nice and toasty while we were walking and it felt great to get in real exercise ! I then proceeded to nap for a few hours. After we all napped we hung out on the porch for a few hours and ate dinner . One of the girls brought a hammock so I hung out in that for a bit.  Sunday morning we headed back down the island, took a boat back to the main island , picked up the new crew and then headed back to Tortuga ( the other side) for some fun in the sun at the beach! The new crew seems great. There are a lot of people who like wound care and there a

Day 13

Teaching day!!!!! I got to go into town and teach a group of 1st and 2nd year nursing students about wounds. It was a very interesting experience. The school was two rooms with no electricity. The kids did their labs outside. The desks were like the school desks we sat in a kids back in elementary school. I was having flashbacks to the stories my dad told me as a kid about his school days. The kids were engaged in the lecture and asked great questions. It was fun watching them during the lab part. I was teaching them how to debride and dress a wound. As I was talking to the kids I found one of them Jd recently burned his leg on a motorcycle and had crushed up amoxicillin and put it in his burn. Needless to say , I told him to come back to the clinic with me so I could clean the wound and dress it . After teaching I cam back to the clinic and treated wounds for the rest of the day with one or two ortho patients thrown in there. I did get to needle a patient independently which was fun.
