photos - medical clinics - part 5

A couple of the young guys helped the man out to a waiting vehicle.

These are the people from Merjer who came for the clinic heading back home.

The mothers were happy to be able to get medical care for their children.

This young woman had a lower arm fracture caused by the earthquake. She went out to the countryside and didn't receive medical treatment to immobilize the fracture. Now her arm has not healed properly. We brought her to the Medecins Sans Frontieres Hospital to see if they could help her.

Anya St. Jean lost her lower left leg as a result of the earthquake. She lives in the Adventist refuge camp in the Delmas 31 area. We are registering her with Handicapped International to see if they can help her with a prothesis. Pray she will be able to get an artificial leg. She is determined to continue on with her life

We have a chicken problem. The poultry refuse to stay outside and the hen laid an egg in the medical teams' pharmacy supplies. I told everyone that the poultry needs to move.

Karen Bosma is fluent in creole and helped to translate at the registration clinic.

This elderly lady is explaining to the doctor what is wrong with her.

Dr. Karen did a minor surgery on the church pew.

This elderly lady came in at the end of the clinic and begged to be seen. She told me that her ears don't hear so good anymore and her eyes don't see so well either. She was a sweet lady and she was seen by the medical team.
