Waking up and knowing that it was the final day of clinics for the trip was such an accomplishing feeling, knowing I've made it this far without crashing, yet a bittersweet feeling, knowing that this'll be the final time I'll be working with my fellow MEMObers.
Our day started at 5:00 AM, we crashed at a hotel in My Tho and I had to rush into the showers and down the stairs in time to check out of the hotel. The journey to today's clinic was particuarly unique. We had to park the bus on the main road and take a small shuttle to where the actual clinic was located. The whole road was bumpy and muddy; it made me realize how far these people are willing to go just to see us and recieve help from us. As we crossed muddy potholes and tight closed roads, we finally arrived to see probably the most organized clinic we've had thus far on 6G.
I immediately began setting up the EKG machines for my role in the clinic and unfortunately, I remembered we were running out of electrodes for the machine and that we forgot to get more for the clinic so we had to limit how many patients that we were allowed to accept that day for EKG's.
The day went smoothly for EKG's and I was able to show a few MEMObers how to use the EKG machine. Afterwords I helped intake and triage for a bit and finished up the rest of the clinic doing ultrasound.
