Another Busy Day in San Jose

Thursday 10/12
Today we will see at least 95 patients, maybe more until the day is done. Late yesterday we had a cardiac patient with chest pain. She had EKG changes and we treated her and wanted to transport her to the hospital in El Progresso, but it was already dark and the roads are bad. Her EKG improved and we had her sleep in the clinic and her family took her to the hospital this morning.
No rain today--very hot.
The guys are working on electrical outlets, rewiring the breaker box, tapping into the existing water line (did not go well) and building shelves for the clinic. Several of the children from San Jose have been on the roof of the Clinica Medica scraping off the old rust-to prepare it for a new coat of paint.
