It was a wonderful day here in Trujillo! Once again, we had a large crowd of patients at the clinic and were able to serve most of them today. The surgery team completed three much needed orthopedic surgeries at the hospital this morning, and several dermatological procedures took place at the clinic as well.
We continue to see interesting clinical cases, but we have also seen several well children whose parents were worried about growing pains and picky eaters. It is always encouraging to see when patients are well cared for and a good reminder that we are more alike than we are different! One thing that all of us have enjoyed is working with our great translators. They are from all over the community and have different backgrounds - medical students, dental students, and English teachers. They have helped us tremendously in understanding the needs of our patients and more about Peruvian culture. We have loved getting to know them! The work of the week has been catching up with us, and we are having to rely on the strong Peruvian café a little more. Please pray for energy for us to finish the week strong and serve this community well! Buenos noches!
