Rio Verde

This past week Ruchi and I did our afternoon hospital shift at a rural clinic. It was a lot different than being in Banos. The rural clinic focused more on primary care than the hospital. There is only one doctor and one nurse working at a time. We saw a lot of abdominal pain and diarrhea in children. We also got to see a child get sutures in her head after falling. It wasn't always as busy as the hospital either, but Dr. Paul was really nice and we learned a lot from him. Next week we go to Rio Negro to another rural clinic. This weekend is our last weekend in Banos so we have a lot planned! Can't wait!
