Guatemala three-Patients

I know it's been a while since my last Guatemala post. Life is busy! This post is a collection of pictures of some of the patients we saw at clinic.

These two little boys complained about their ears hurting-Wendy worked her magic with an ear curette and pulled out giant gobs of ear wax. They wanted to take the earwax home with them.


I spent a lot of time in triage, especially at the beginning of the trip, so I had the opportunity to see a lot of people. I love the character in the faces that follow-these people are wonderful. They are humble, kind, and work harder for their living than most Americans have ever thought about working. It was such a blessing to be around them, and to know that I was part of a group that was helping.









I wish I had a picture of these two standing next to each other. I think that if there were two of this lady standing on each others shoulders they wouldn't add up to Kade's height!








These women were patiently waiting to see our gynecologist. Many of our patients waited for hours without complaint.



This little boy was quite happy to have been seen by an American doctor...he gave both Amy and me kisses before he left with his mother.
