Day 9

First day with the new crew! Seemed To go very well. The morning was nuts for me. I think I only saw 1 or2 people assigned to me. There were a TON of  wounds I had to check out on other people's patients . The wounds were all over as well. A few fingers, a fees rashes, a few legs. I saw my first venous wound here in Haiti. All exciting things. We have two younger people on our trip who plan on attending PT school, one of them LOVEs wounds almost as much as I do! She helps me out a ton and makes seeing a few patients at once possible. Although most of the say was great I have one wound that is baffling me. No matter what I do it keeps getting worse. It is driving me nuts! I reached out to some of he MDs back home, so hopefully that will help. In the meantime I am googling all kinds of things so figure out what to do.  After work we all hung out in the clinic and geeked out over PT related things. It was rainy so we did. It get to go on our normal walk. I practiced my manipulati...

Day 14

Last day of clinic😳 I  so sad that clinic time has come to an end, but alas all good things must come to an end eventually. Luckily I will be back in September ! Today was a lot of wrapping up all of my patients. I saw most of the people I have been seeing for the past two weeks to give them heirbqound care supplies as well as instructions on their dressing changes. Most of the patients have been coming for years and are well versed in what they have to do, but it is always good to review. I saw my little girl again today. The hypergranulation tissue I was trying to get rid of with the play dough was much less then yesterday which was great to see. She was also started on a nutrition program today and will be followed by an American EMT who now lives in Haiti. I showed her how to do the wound care so she will do that as well. It makes me happy to know that this girl is getting the care that she needs.  I saw a few ortho patients today. I dry needled a knee and a lower back to...

Day 10

Today was a more stressful day than usual . I saw two people today who I could not do anything to help. The first is a 16 year old kid who got a big bite on his ankle which led to osteomyelitis of his entire ankle and tibia ( we sent him to get x rays to confirm this). His best option is probably amputation. We are currently looking for a reliable doctor who can help us out. The second case was similar except the person was 22 and had had an ankle surgery that never healed. He has a large open wound on his shin and I can see his bone.  I did see a few wounds in between which were healing so that was good to see. My last patient of the day was interesting case. She clearly has some psychiatric condition, and has been to the hospital to get some” foolish” pills. I nor she has any idea what these pills are. I saw her yesterday for machete wounds. Today I wanted to do more of a medical check. Her BP was crazy high (240/120), she had a UTI and all kinds of infections in her wounds. If I...
