The elusive "Mobile Clinic"

So yesterday two people were suppose to travel with the mobile clinic and it left without them. Today, I was supposed to go with them and it never showed up. Instead we stayed in the emergency department in Banos. We saw some interesting cases: a woman with ameobiasis that resulted in secondary Crohn's disease (it was a textbook presentation!), a man with cholecystitis caused by fatty liver disease, a little girl with a kidney infection, and a pregnant woman having complications. Even after two days I have seen a huge improvement in my understanding of medical terms in Spanish. Can't wait for tomorrow!
