Our second day in the hospital began with some new assignments. Instead of Katherine, Sung, and Lauren heading to the labor unit like yesterday, they were working on the circuit breakers for the Operating Room. Karen and Jessica P. went with Jamie to the autoclave area and cleaned some of the equipment there. Dr. Paschal, Jessica K., and I worked to repair an Electrosurgery unit. We gathered some parts from a junked unit and then replaced the switch on the unit we were working on. After some wire cutting, band saw action, de-soldering, and soldering, the unit was up and running. Maria Jose’s mom provided us with lunch again and we were off to the Manos de Amor clinic.
On our way we stopped at the ‘Mapa de Relieve’, a giant relief map of Guatemala that showed the volcanoes, jungles, and coast of Guatemala. We then went by the Manos de Amor clinic and toured its facilities. It has OB/GYN, dentistry, pediatrics, a pharmacy, and more - all for next to nothing. It was an amazing facility and the people there were some of the nicest and most genuine people. On our way back to the Nazarene center we stopped at the Wal-mart-ish supermarket again and picked up some marshmallows for our bonfire tonight. We’ll post some pictures a little later, so check back!
