Business was a little slower than the other two days, which was great because the students got all kinds of experience and coaching they wouldn't have had if we were slammed. The slowness also gave me a chance to photograph some of our "neighbors" over the last few days:
The horse, along with three others, was wandering the streets, snatching snacks from yards.
The pig was kenneled (styed?) right next to where we were working.
The fowl were a ways down the street, mostly inside their own yard.
They told us this was a school for disabled children:
Lisa sutures while Dr. Winnie supervises.
Morgan sits with Randy while he wakes up:
Natalie sutures while Dr. Steele supervises.
Kristina sutures while Dr. Colleen supervises.
Dr. Karen monitors a cat recovery while Laurie preps meds.
Again, Natalie does her thing.
One group of kids asked us if we could clip their dog's shaggy, matted fur. We said of course - as long as we get to spay her too! I got to do the honors (thank goodness we'd brought more than one size of blade, and an extra clipper battery!)
Laurie and I chat with the chief of police - whose house, it turns out, we've been using as our surgery clinic! He and one of his officers brought in a working K-9 to be spayed - a mixed breed, tan dog named Blacky.
And this time... ha ha! I've got my influencing others bit down all right!
Did I mention that there are geckos running around the villa, protecting us from mosquitoes and the like?
