Honduras Day 7

Another busy clinic day under rather uncomfortable heat and humidity.

No super unusual cases except for maybe larvae in an ear. This is not about exotica, after all, just basic medicine and public health.

At the end of the day we toured the local public hospital, which was both resource and personnel poor. The hospital morgue had a non-functioning chiller. Undesireable.

Our 2 IRB approved questionnaire studies are progressing nicely. Our dedicated student researcher, Kate Pearson, tirelessly inputs data at the end of the day.

Back to the grind tomorrow.
