Ian's Typical Day

Our day began as normal seeing patients and diagnosing pharyngitis and lumbargia as well as giving injections. We then rode the ambulance from Otuzco to Motil, a little town about an hour up the Andes Mountains. Along the way we picked up four hitchhikers and packed them into the back of the ambulance. We dropped them off in a town along the way. Myself and Andy took blood pressures of the local people. We then went fishing at the fishery and the fish we got we had for dinner. In the afternoon we learned how to do stitches. At night, we played basketball and soccer with some of the local boys.
