Policia, and Another Busy Day

Wednesday, November 11th...

The 4th day of the mission. Up and out at 8 am. Most of us were refreshed from our off day. When we arrived at the hospital, we were told that there were over 1000 people looking to get in for eye exams. The policia were called in to settle the crowds. The hospital complex is gated, so we are a good distance from the gate and not in harms way.

We worked efficiently today despite having less and less interpreters as the week goes on. It is a good thing we are learning our Spanish… although today even the interpreter had trouble with “nerve palsy”. I think we saw around 290 today including some interesting children. The people are very polite and appreciative.

Again we worked past 5 but were out a little earlier today. Many of us stayed in and ate at the hotel restaurant tonight.
