Day 15

Travel day! We woke up at 3:30 and were on the road by 4:45 am...... so early! It is a good thing we start early through because traffic starts to pick up around 6. We did. It break down at all and we had the fancy new bus! About a half hour in we got a road block. Some truck had pulled off to the side of the road and the. A car got stuck. Our bus could not get by. A few guys got out and moved the car and after a few scary moment where I was convinced we were going off a cliff we made the turn and were on our way. I slept 90% of the way( surprise surprise) and when I woke up we were 75% of the way there. This was a much easier ride than the way to PDP! We arrived at our hotel and immediately I put in my bathing suit and hopped into the pool. After two weeks of hard work it felt great to be splashing around a pool at a fancy hotel. I hung out by the pool for s few hours and the hopped in the shower( hot water!!) and took a nap. Dinner was buffet style with lots of veggies and food I hav...

Haiti day 5

Today was a crazy day. I think I only saw about 6 patients all day who were actually assigned to me. Most of the patients I saw had athletes foot on smalll wounds from bacteria. I did see a pretty nasty head wound( unknown origin) and moisture associated dermatitis. I saw a few returnee patients ( all wounds) and a smattering of ortho patients. Most of the ortho patients o saw had back and neck pain. I did a lot of needling and manipulations as well as massage and cupping. All of the patients we see work really hard day to day to make a living/ survive. They have to get into crazy positions and carry insane amount of weight. It is no wonder they are so sore! I also screened some general medical patients for basic issues to make it more efficient for the nurses to give out meds. I have become rather proficient in testing pee for UTIs as well as taking blood sugars. I am also getting really good at cranial nerve testing and vision screens. I learn so much here!!! After work we hung out ,...

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...
