Update on Tuesday's Clinic

Clinic was very interesting today. The last day at a location heightens the anxiety level of the locals.  At close to the end of the day there were still 150 to 200 people left in line. The Docs shifted gears from the standard method of seeing patients to walking down the lines of people diagnosing and prescribing as they went. The team functioned amazingly well given the circumstances. All patience were seen and the last prescription were filled with the aide of a flash light.  It was hectic, exhausting, and thrilling to be part of. I would not want to work at that pace all the time, but for the time it was fun. We managed to see as many patients in the last hour of the day as we saw in the entire rest of the day.  Don't have an exact count, we were to tired to count the cards. 

Due to Pastor Louis funeral arrangements the team will be getting back on the bus to the DR on thursday instead of Friday.  The funeral is on Saturday an Leonard has to be back to attend. 

Please send our apologies to the folks that show up to prayer vigil for us not having more current updates. Due to the time change, we are an hour behind time back home.  We are not even getting out of clinic by the time prayer vigil is over. 

Goodnight and God Bless,
MIA in Haiti
