And there was darkness and light, the first day...

Jossie teaches "Diabetic Foot Evaluation" to the Haitian
nurses, firefighters, and doctors.
Day one has come to a close, all is well after a hectic clinic/ OR day, big props to all of the amazing people here at HAH as well as our great team. On every trip, there is a learning curve, us learning the ways of our host hospital and the team learning each others ways. This can be a challenging process but one that brings respect, affection and admiration. We also started our teaching today. There were nurses, nursing students, OR nurses,EMTs and physicians from HAH as well as staff from other local PAP hospitals. This is a great way to
Job and a friend in clinic
" leave skills not scars" as Dr. H would say. These teaching opportunities not only help the staff at HAH but we hope it will affect long term patient care and broaden their knowledge bases which will allow growth at the institution. Looking forward to a busy day tomorrow. Much love goes out to our amazing PACU staff which took excellent care of our patients post operatively, Keeping us up to date on our paperwork and making sure everyone was taken care of. Cindy, way to take charge today. Jenel you did a great job! Thanks to Job and Dr. Delanois, it sure does make clinic easier when you have people on your team that speak the language. Thanks to Britt for running water to all of us and keeping the kids entertained!! Mesi, Mesi,
Ok time to go back to the mosquito nets and catch some ZZssss.
