Whew! Clinc Day Number 4! By Kim Hermer

2/24/2011

Today was truly a day of providing care.  Our amazing medical team treated between 70-75 people - each one smiling in the heat despite sometimes waiting a long time to see a doctor.

I'm quite amazed at the patience of the patients!  They are kind to one another and very kind to us.  I'm not sure Dr. Jim Eiselt had room for any more blessings after the many bestowed upon him today by patients!  He is a great man - with the business of the day, he NEVER forgot to say "goodbye" to a patient, even if he had to stop with his current patient to do so.  His heart is as big as his "big Grandpa voice."

I hit a new level today of which I am slightly proud..... Dr. Jim shouted a prescription to me across the room (sometimes it´s just faster that way) and I wrote the instructions down in my notebook as usual, howvever this time...I wrote them in SPANISH!!!!  If I ever get ill in a Spanish speaking country, I will be able to tell myself to, "Take two pills, three times a day for pain."
Ahhh...the things one learns!

A special shout-out to Professora Biebel - My high school Spanish teacher.
God is good!
Be well,
Kim

Am loving reading the blog! It makes me feel like I am back there especially when Grace and Aunikah were talking about the 3am roosters. Sounds like all is well with all of you.
Enjoy the beautiful people and the beautiful country.
Still praying for you all.
Peace,
SP
