Hundreds of Patients Come to Clinic!

Today is a special day because we received two updates from Honduras!

Dr. Clements says so far, his students have seen 430 patients at the clinic, pretty impressive. He reiterates that the students are doing great. Some of them were barely speaking Spanish at the beginning of the trip, and are now speaking more easily with their patients.

The group is living in four back rooms of the clinic, which is completely up and running - a major feat. There’s a nurse there full time and a doctor is on duty there several times a month. The clinic is complete with solar electricity and running water.

Seeing patients is the most important part of the trip, but there are some special perks to being in this rural Honduran community. Dr. Clements says they are getting afternoon rain showers, which is nice because it cools things off. The mornings are clear. The Honduran people are gracious. The food is fantastic - lots of vegetables, nothing artificial and everything is cooked fresh from the fields.

He said, "it's probably the best eating we’ve done in our lives for our short stay."

More great news - no one in the group has gotten sick. Clements says the biggest complaint he's gotten so far is his snoring... and Reynaldo's snoring. :)

"We couldn’t ask for anything better," Clements said.
