We are enjoying the cool weather of Lima and the lovely facilities
of the clinic where we have been working, but are overwhelmed with
patients. 100 the first day, and then Carol limited it to 60-- but we
still ended up closer to 75 for the next 2 days! Busy-- and the same
trials and tribulations with the trainees and good moments and tough
ones-- but there is certainly need, evidenced by the sheer volume of
women we are seeing and the numbers we are turning away (40-80 each
day). I gave my lecture to a group of 30-40 last night, and I give many
thanks to Sallie for help in translation-- as I worked it into a
powerpoint cutting and pasting and adjusting on a bumpy 1+ hr bus ride
to the clinic each morning. OK, off for another day of PINCC
adventure.
