New location. This clinic is closer to Punta Gorda by half an hour, just beyond the road construction. Much more modern than the one by the border, hey, they have electricity! Except the staff won’t let us in the building to work! They want us to set up in a block building next door, no electricity , no water, but windows to open up for light and air circulation. But, we were all in the same room, so we could share instruments much more easily.
Charlie and Rochell doing a filling. I am sitting on a bench, the patient is in a recliner, and Rochell has to stand up to see, the patient is the only one comfortable.
Dan saw a host of ENT patients. Everyone piles in to watch as well.
Mike and Princess worked on the kids, I set up in the middle of the room to do fillings and surgical extractions, Dan on one wall to do his ENT consults and ear-cleanings, and four chairs set up for Gloria, Zach and Jim for the more routine extractions. By our count, we saw over 70 people today, double what we had seen the last two days. Some tough extractions, lucky to have had the dental unit and handpieces to get the roots out.
Here is our list for the day. Lots of people to see.
Zach and Jim working hard, Jamie is behind, writing people’s names down.
What a team we have. Jamie, Lolo, and Jing have been with us most of the week. Gabby rejoined us, and Angelia for the first time. Everyone had their jobs and they all did them well. As you can see from the pictures, the building was surrounded by people, with many inside just watching. I only had to kick one dog out today.
