This week we saw many many patients in the clinic as well as with a barrio dental team. In surgery we did about 25 cases, including an amputation, lap gaulbladders, lypomas, hernias, etc. The surgery equipment was old, but working and all of the surgeries were very successful! Dr. Woolen, Dr. Jakub, Dr. Wheeler, and Dr. DeVore and surgical residents Dr. Stephen Phillips and Dr. Erica Clark all helped with these procedures.
Dr. Ridgell led the barrio dental team to four different locations throughout the week. Around 100 patients or more were seen each day and were treated for many different dental ailments. Alongside the dental team one day, volunteers helped in the construction of a church in San Juan. Although the construction made it very dusty and loud, it was very encouraging to see so much service inside one building!
Staying at the guesthouse was very very enjoyable for all on our team, Joe and Shannon made us feel right at home! Meals were delicious and the stay was very comfortable!
As a team, we all noted how fortunate we are all in our lives and how much God has blessed each of us This trip will be something that we remember forever!
