Went to Haiti with Marcia, Caitlyn, Barry, Marty, Max, Dave, Jared & Scott. The guys were there to do some electric work and to put a roof on the room above the Clinic Waiting Area. Marcia, Cait & I were to do organizing in the Clinic. Met two young ladies from Canada, Ketsia & Ashley. They were in Haiti for 2 months. It rained, and rained. Did I say it rained? We were in the clinic working and didn't realize it was raining so hard. We happened to notice some water beginning to come in the door, and just about that time it was like a tsunami ! We couldn't get the door closed and the clinic got LOTS of muddy water in it. It took awhile to get all the things on the floor picked up and then it was getting dark, so we had to get off the mountain. The next day when we got to the clinic, a group of men had cleaned up all the mud! YEAH! We spent the rest of the day cleaning and going through things that had gotten wet. Moral of the story...SHUT the door when it rains really hard!!! Marcia also saw a few patients and I got to scribe for the first time! I really enjoyed that. We did an inventory of meds and went to Ann's to see a few patients. On the way back home we were driving down the main road and a truck was in front of us. There were several men in the bed of the truck, sitting on the sides. All of a sudden a man came tumbling out of the truck onto the street. We had to stop quickly to avoid hitting him. The truck paused, saw that he got up, and then they took off! He was really dazed and went to the side of the road to sit down. He had hit his head and was bleeding quite a bit. We gave him a paper towel (all we had with us) and another truck picked him up. Sure hope he was ok. All in all, the week was a good week and the men really got a lot done.
