Today, I went to Salybia in Carib Territory where the natives live to volunteer for the group Salybia. It was awesome! I'm exhausted, but there were so many patients and I adored the ones I worked with:
Michael, 21, chest pains that was given antacids and some doctor's orders for healthy living
Ophelia, 53, back pains, headaches, and blackouts, was given something for her weak blood pressure
Rachiel, ?, edema of left foot from previous infection
Brianna, 5, atopic eczema was given corticosteriods and preventive measures for calm the itch.
I loved them! There are so many patients to be seen and only two doctors, so that I end up spending much time talking to them. I love getting a glimpse into their life; thank goodness I've been lucky enough to have people that like to share.
Plus, the people I work with are amazing. The only downside to working with Salybia is time: that one-hour drive each way is long! Also, I know that if I had signed up with AMSA health fair this weekend, I would have snagged a T-shirt for a few hours of work! That's another missed free shirt even. :: sigh ::
In the morning, I went to market with Nick and picked up a pound of marlin for $7EC! I marinated it for the entire day while I was at Salybia, but it was still tough. H, I'll make it up to you, I promise! Though, I still maintain that honey ginger dressing is an okay mix.
