The Clinic Today

I stopped keeping count today.

We started with a morning devotional at 8 a.m.  Chalmers and I were at the clinic around 7:30 a.m.  Remember the clinic is a 7/24 operation.  I was a bit curious about how a day looks for the clinic.

8:00 a.m. started to notice foot traffic and taxi drop offs building.

10:00 a.m. the hallway was full - probably 20 in line on the bench.  More sitting on the floor.

12:00 p.m. they were over flowing into the room next to the water room where I was set up.  The overflow started getting shots, new borns getting examinations, etc.

I stopped counting.


Most of what I saw today was pre/post natal care patients and dehydration patients (primarily seniors).  There were always about 5 patients sitting on the bench getting an IV of fluid for dehydration - all day.
