Sorry for the delay: this has been a very busy week with an amazing group of students. We completed two days of house visits and set up a clinic at a community center in Zapaton, an indigenous community about ten miles from Mastatal. We assessed and provided care to about 40 people, ranging in age from 9 months to 90 years. Since the clinic, we have reviewed head, spinal, chest and musculoskeletal trauma. At the moment, students are completing practical examinations for GPS use, emergency shelter construction, and knot tying. Following the mantra, "Beatings will continue until morale improves", students will take their second written medical tests of the week tomorrow, with instruction in the management of bleeding and shock and long term wound care.
