We got to the hospital and as the maitenance workers were greeting us the head doctor of the ER and OR came in to test the electrosurgery machine we had fixed the day before. He brought with him a chicken leg and a hot dog. After testing both the coagulation and cutting mechanisms of the machine on the chicken leg, he started to thank us for fixing the machine. They hadnt used the machine for over 5 years and to have another one made another OR room adequate for more types of surgeries.
In the afternoon, we came back to the Nazarene center, got cleaned up, and headed out to the Universidad del Valle. After touring their engineering school and meeting a bunch of the students and talking with them for a while, we met up in the conference room and shared presentations. Dr. P, Katherine, Wade, and Rosie each presented research they had been working on and three groups of UDV students each presented projects they had been working on. A professor from UDV also presented his research. The groups of UDV students presented on an artificial hand, a distilling machine, and a robot controlled through either thoughts, eye movements, or hand movements. They were all really interesting topics. They provided dinner after and we all had awesome conversations with the students. Another fire and bed finished off the night. Tomorrow we'll be painting the shalom foundation's shool!
