Today instead of having spanish in the morning, john and I went to the clinic. There we gave a presentation on the importance of pap smears, I did another pap smear, put acid on a woman's ulcer (ouch!), took blood pressures, and talked with patients. We came back to basecamp for lunch, and then this afternoon went with Jason to the hospital here in Jinotepe. We got to help set up IVs, took vital signs in the "shock" room, and spent some time in the emergency room. The emergency was very busy today so we had lots of helping out we could do. This evening, Jenny, Steph and I fried up plantain's for a snack, I finished my "water for elephants" book, and did a facial. Preparing to go to Leon tomorrow!
