My mom came with me to Haiti this year. She is not medical but she ran an in home daycare until recently. This is partially why I became a pedtiatrician. When I invited her years ago she said, “what would I do?” I said “hold babies.” Came true when 2 slept on her for 1 hour.
Today we went to an orphanage and most of the kids needed to be seen for an illness. These kids turned out to be some of the most ill that we had seen. Very fortunate to have lots of meds and a nebulizer that we were able to leave with them. 50 kids live here.
Over 200 seen in Fev and over 100 in Difu. We ran out of the tracking sheets. The walk to Difu took about 20 min from the Tap Tap. Amazing communities. #CowInWaitingRoom #
At least 168 people seen in Haute Dehainne today. This was absolutely amazing. As we walked in you could feel the groups collective breath be sucked out of us. Yes, those are cows in the waiting room

@advocatecolleen Thanks! That’s very kind. I enjoy getting the chance to leave work for a while to serve. Dr Milligan and I were talking yesterday about how great it is that @advocatehealth easily gives Physicians the freedom to go out to serve.
