Hospital Loma de Luz photo tour

This is the Hospital Loma de Luz (in Spanish "Hill of Light")
These are some of the missionary kids who are making a banquet. They are home-schooled and have been going through a book called the Red Wall book. It was a taste-testing of things like Grogg (alcohol-free, of course) and Stew, and the recipes were all from the book.


This is the hospital's operating room. The only surgeries I have been in on since I've been here have been C-sections. Anesthesia: ketamine and fentanyl.

This is the ER. This was taken with it empty. It was full, however, yesterday afternoon when I was on call. It was "headache" day in the ER which is at least less gross than when I had "eye" day and worst of them all "penis" day. Bleh.

This is me in my clinic room. They actually have a mini-EMR that is, dare-I-say, WAY easier and more efficient than Allscripts. The computer also allows me to use Google translator (particularly useful the other day when I did not have an interpreter all day) and uptodate to look up all of the crazy things I see here that I never see back home. (pretty sure I had a case of Dengue fever the other day.)

This is the real reason that I like to work in clinic... my exam room is AIR CONDITIONED! Shhhh.... don't tell Josh.

Thank you all for participating in our "poll the audience blog." With all of the facebook and blog comments I have gotten, I believe I will admit defeat. We are going to Roatan, and I'm going to swim with dolphins. I'm doing it not because I NEED it or DESERVE it, but I will enjoy this as a blessing the Lord has given me.
