Cebadas The Village of Many Patients

Today was a short one hour ride to Cebadas.  There was already a line of people waiting for us. So many kids came running up to give each of us a big hug. Melts my heart!
Byron's tag was bothering him... Naturally,
Anitia cut it off while he was still driving

It was a great set up. Everything was located in one place. We saw 200 people in our eight hours. There were 14 people who did not get  to be seen, but they did get vitamins and deworming medication.

The kidos in this village were sicker than in Pachancho. A lot more cavities and infections. There were also a few crazy cases that I saw today. One of my patients had a double eye infection. By the way, eyes really gross me out! Both eyes were covered in puss, red, and drooping heavily due to the infection. It started over three years ago. Her right eye, just a shriveled mass. I nearly threw up. The gag and aim technique came into play. The other eye was also severely infected with scaring over the cornea.
